Mission Statement
Akshaya Patra's vision is that no child shall be deprived of education because of hunger.
About This Cause
Akshaya Patra means the unlimited bowl of abundance and sustenance. The organization began its operations in the year 2000 by serving 1,500 meals to a small group of local schools. With the vision to eliminate classroom hunger, Akshaya Patra has since scaled to serve over 2 million meals to children in over 20,000 government schools across 14 states and 2 Union Territories in India daily. In addition to our core mid-day meal program, we also provide breakfast and meals to pregnant and lactating mothers and children between 0-5 years. Akshaya Patra combines good management, innovative technology, and smart engineering to deliver school lunch for a fraction of the cost of similar meal programs in other parts of the world - it costs $20 to feed a child daily for the entire school year, after getting government subsidy of up to 60% of the cost. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the organization served over 244 million meals to individuals and families in need.
