Who's running this

A kitchen, not a company

Hargonic Cares isn't a registered NGO or a payment platform — it's a small volunteer effort set up to keep one protest kitchen in Ranchi stocked. We move money the plainest way there is: your UPI app to ours, nothing in between.

The situation

Why aspirants are still at Morabadi Ground

JPSC and JSSC aspirants in Ranchi began protesting over alleged irregularities and paper leaks in state recruitment exams. The government has since cancelled the 14th JPSC prelims and the 2023/2025 backlog exams and accepted a number of other demands. The sit-in continues because students want a CBI investigation into the leaks, and assembly marches have at times ended in clashes with police.

What we don't do

No gateway, no cut, no card details

We deliberately skip payment gateways. Every donation is a direct UPI transfer to a single account, which means no processing fee is deducted before it reaches the kitchen — and we never see or store your card or bank details, because we never ask for them.

Everything's on the donation page

Amounts, the QR code and the UPI ID are all there — pick what you're comfortable with.
