No Food Waste official theme video launched

The opening of the video has the image of two children who are searching for food amidst heaps of garbage that is scattered on the road. Just then their teary-eyed mother watches them (her children) helplessly. All this makes you wish that this family had food to eat. In the meantime, a female voice begins singing the lyrics of Vaanam Engal Ellaye. This is the official theme song of city-based NGO No Food Waste. This album song is christened Vaanam Engal Ellaye. This song urges people not to waste food.



Vaanam Engal Ellaye was launched today as part of World Food Day celebrations. This theme song was launched by Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation (CCMC) Commissioner, Dr. Vijay Karthikeyan. Addressing the gathering he said “Many volunteer organizations who continue to serve the needy in our city. Each organization is helping people in a different way. I am proud to work in Coimbatore. On the occasion of World Food Day, I request not to waste food as several people across the world go hunger and many children are malnourished as they cannot afford food.” Dr. Vijay Karthikeyan said.

Speaking to SimpliCity after this theme song was launched founder of this social service organization shares “The idea behind creating this song is to convey to public that several people around the world are hungry so do not waste food. If you have food that is left-over reach it to the needy.” Padmanaban Gopalan, Founder, No Food Waste said.



This close to three-minute album song has music that is composed by R S Rajprathap, Bala has penned lyrics, Ben has edited this video while R Shruthi has sung this song. This song has powerful lyrics and visuals that urges its listener not to waste food.

Shruti, the 12-year old student of Class 8 of Bharathi Matriculation Hr. Sec. School shares with us that it has been emotional experience singing Vaanam Engal Ellaye. “Even I have taken an oath not to waste food.” Shruti says. This is her first time that she has lent her voice for a video.



In the past the volunteers of NGO No Food Waste have recorded images of people who are hungry in various locations in and around our city. A few of these visuals have been made a part of Vaanam Engal Ellaye. This video can be watched at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2Y1uO95gg8
