Akshaya Patra Kitchen
The Akshaya Patra Foundation is principally involved in implementing the Mid-Day Meal programme to the children in Government and Government-aided schools across India. It follows a Public-Private Partnership model of operation, and hence has been working in partnership with the Central and State Governments.

Children at feed the hunger webiste launch
Hunger makes dreams thinner. India has close to 8.1 million children (www.worldbank.org.in) who forgo education to earn their daily meal. “Feed the Hunger” is an initiative by Akshaya Patra in an effort to give children a chance to nourish their dreams. For this reason, we gave an opportunity to the children served by our programme to contour and colour their hopes. The result was vibrant, original and delightful artworks that chronicle their ambitions.
