The Akshaya Patra Foundation
The Akshaya Patra Foundation is the largest NGO run school meal program in the world. This program feeds more than a million children everyday.
The Akshaya Patra Foundation makes a difference in the lives of underprivileged children and their families by evolving a free school meal program in government schools.
The mid day meal program motivates children to attend and remain in school thereby ensuring their holistic overall development. This in turn contributes to a self-reliant, productive society. It is therefore our endeavor to make sure that children continue their education.
It is a proven fact that children who are fed at school display a higher level of concentration, short-term memory and verbal fluency. Also, the drop-out rate is tremendously low amongst children who avail the mid-day meals in schools.
The program therefore plays a vital role in ensuring a better tomorrow, both for the child and the society at large.
