It’s October 16th, that day of the year when the world observes World food day. This day brings together many nations with a goal to spread awareness and to arrive at solutions to grueling issues of hunger and poverty. Adopting many measures as per the themes such as ‘food and nutrition’, ‘the right to food’, ‘united against hunger’ are quintessential for India due to the hunger crisis in the country. The children bare the brunt of the prevailing condition and Akshaya Patra among other triumph to fight against hunger.
Children always look for variation in taste. Alike a mother, who is always in the attempt to provide taste and variety in each meal by keeping the nutrition level intact, Akshaya Patra too shares the same intent. Akshaya Patra keeps adding variation in its mid day meals to fill the appetite, and treat the taste buds of the tiny tots.
