Feeding Mid Day Meal in Government School around 1.4 Million underprivileged Children in India.
Our vision is ''No child in India should be deprived of education because of hunger.''
Mission
Our mission is to reach 5 million Government school children by 2020.
How We Got Started
Looking out of a window one day in Mayapur, a village near Calcutta, His Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada saw a group of children fighting with street dogs over scraps of food. From this simple, yet heart breaking incident, came the determination that: No one within a ten mile radius of our center should go hungry.
It is his inspiration which helped us to create The Akshaya Patra Foundation as it is today.
In June 2000, we started our mid-day meal program in Bangalore by feeding 1500 children in 5 schools
