Speaking at a UN session, Infosys Founder N R Narayana Murthy said he “experienced hunger” for 120 hours non-stop when he was hitchhiking in Europe 50 years ago. Murthy, 77, was addressing a special event 'Achievements in Food Security: India's Strides Towards Sustainable Development Goals'. “Most of you have not experienced hunger. I have,” Murthy said while addressing an audience of UN diplomats, officials, academia, civil society organisations and members of the Indian diaspora during the event. Murthy detailed the work done by Akshaya Patra, adding that success is bringing a smile to the face of helpless people. "Akshaya Patra is hugely successful by that count. If our poor children lose hope and faith in our society, they will turn to violence and destroy all the good that India has achieved and is hoping to achieve.”
