About
Akshaya Patra
The
Akshaya
Patra Foundation is a non-profit organization , that operates on a
Public-Private -Partnership Model. It is the implementing partner of
the “Mid-day Meal Scheme” with steady support from Govt.of India,
various State Govts.and inestimable support from many Corporates,
Philanthropic Donors and Well-Wishers. By implementing the Mid-day
Meal Scheme in the Govt. Schools and Govt. Aided Schools, the Akshaya
Patra strives to fight issues like Hunger and Malnutrition of
impoverished & excluded families of India and also aims to bring
Children to Schools under “Right to Education.”
The
Foundation has grown from humble beginnings in the year 2000, serving
just 1,500 children across 5 schools. Today Akshaya Patra is the
world’s largest (not-for-profit run) mid-day meal programme serving
wholesome food to over 1.4
million children from 10,845 schools across 10 states in India. It
aims to accomplish
bold goal of feeding 5 million children by 2020.
The
Foundation is of the belief that there is a dire need for the
operations of Akshaya Patra to be replicated so that it realizes the
vision that “No child in India shall be deprived of Education
because of Hunger.”
What Can We Do ?
It
takes just Rs. 750 to feed a Child for a Year. Feeding
the school children is an excellent cause & dharma. We should
become part of this noble effort in service to the society, with
passion, dedication and excellence. May the world bear witness of how
such amazing things can be done with responsibility to care for
people and the environment.
Let
us make a beginning by contributing at least Rs. 2,250 to feed 3
Children
for a year or multiples of Rs.750.
