Today, we have grown to nourish 2 million children every school day.

Every meal is packed with the below nutrient proportions:

Let’s empower young minds with wholesome mid-day meals in their schools and help them overcome all obstacles to their education, health and future. With every meal we serve, we paint a brighter tomorrow, where dreams can flourish and aspirations can take flight.
