try to locate a pellet feed, if you cannot then i would sugget turning over to an all veggie and hay diet. this can be hard because you have to balance the right about of nutrients to give them what they need.
hay is a must, stay away from to much alfalfa hay as it is higher in protien and rabbits over age 6 months don't need it except as a treate (i feed 1 small handfull of alfalfa a day alone with unlimited abouts of timothy hay). i personally disagree with one answer with the bread and dog kibble. dog kibble has super high protien in it and animal bi-products, rabbits don't eat meat at all and therefor cannot digest animal protien properly. bread can be givin in very small amounts (like a bite or 2 a week).
some veggies that i feed my rabbits are (and i have no idea if they have a different name in india or if they are even avaliable):
kale (only small amounts), collard greens, parsley, dill, cilantro, dandelion greens, beet tops (just the plant matter aboobe the beet), pumpkin, grapes (only a few), mustard greens, carrots (only small amounts a few times a week, carrots have high sugar content), bell peppers, spinach (in monderation), and leaf lettuce. i would suggest looking at house rabbit society website for further information about veggies and feeding your bun! i listed the website in the sources

The rabbits here in America do the best on rabbit pellets. They need about a 16% protein food. All vegtables are a diet food with only a 1-2 % protein. I NEVER feed my rabbits cabbage because it can gas them up and kill them. Once in a while, a piece of apple or carrot is OK for them to nibble on.
Try getting hay for your rabbits if you don't have any rabbit pellets. You can also give them sunflower seeds, some dry bread, and even dry dog food. Please stay away from the greens unless you want a skinny sickly rabbit.
Some weeds have a higher protein content then alfalfa. Make sure they are safe for your rabbit to eat before you cut some to dry to make hay for them.

You should try to find your rabbit pellets. To much veggies can make your rabbit get sick and die. DO NOT feed it just veggies(carrots, lettuce, that sort of stuff).
You can find rabbit food at walmart, tractor supply, or a local pet store. I know that food from tractor supply is a huge bag for only 10 dollars it isn't a bad deal at all.
You should still give your rabbit hay it can be alfalfa or timothy(you can get this from any of the above stores.) You can give your rabbit veggies just not alot.
I hope this helps

If you can't find actual rabbit food, they also do very well with alfalfa, lettuce, carrots, really any vegetables or grass or non poisonous flowers.
