Description
The Akshaya Patra Foundation came into being in the year 2000 to address two of the most immediate challenges of India - hunger and education - by providing unlimited, wholesome food to attract children to schools, retain them and then focus on children's holistic development. The vision: No child in India should be hungry and hunger should not be an obstacle to education. The Sanskrit word Akshaya Patra (meaning abundant, inexhaustible) has its origins in the great epic, Mahabharata and aptly reflects the aspirations of the Founders to provide unlimited food to underprivileged children and mitigate their sufferings. A secular, charitable organization, Akshaya Patra offers unlimited, nutrition-rich food everyday to deserving school children through an extremely cost-effective process.
