The Akshaya Patra Foundation
Akshaya Patra is the world’s largest NGO-run midday meal program and feeds over 1.3 million children daily in India. A public-private partnership we combine good management, innovative technology and smart engineering to deliver school lunch at a fraction of the cost of similar programs in other parts of the world. It costs just $15 to feed a child daily for the entire year. This gives the children an incentive to come to school, stay in school and provides them with the necessary nutrients they need to develop their cognitive abilities to focus on learning.
