Akshaya Patra: Nourishing Lives, Nurturing Dreams

 

The Akshaya Patra Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating hunger and malnutrition among children by providing nutritious mid-day meals in schools across India. With a vision of “No child in India shall be deprived of education because of hunger”, the foundation ensures that children receive wholesome meals that support their health, education, and overall well-being.

✅ Improve school attendance and retention rates
✅ Enhance learning capacity and academic performance
✅ Combat malnutrition and hunger-related illnesses
✅ Encourage enrollment in government and aided schools
