Kitchens are the heart of Akshaya Patra. The scale and operational efficiency of these kitchens help us maximise the impact of the PM POSHAN Abhiyaan (Mid-Day Meal Programme). Our network of kitchens, which spans 72 locations, enables us to serve nutritious mid-day meals to over 2.2 million children every school day, thus supporting their nutrition and education.

You can help us ensure that no child is deprived of education because of hunger.

Become a part of the Akshaya Patra family by sponsoring kitchen equipment and enhancing our productivity. Investing in kitchen periodically helps in the upkeep of our kitchens, thus adding to the efficiency of the system we have established over the years.

Majority of our kitchen equipment is made of Stainless Steel – Grade 304 which helps in:

  • retaining the nutritional content of food
  • stopping spread of contamination
  • maintaining cleanliness as it is easier to clean
  • shortening the time required for cooking in large quantities
  • durability as it can withstand heavy use and high temperatures.

These properties of SS-304 help Akshaya Patra meet safety and hygiene standards to ensure that hot and safe food is delivered to our beneficiaries.

Your act of kindness will be deeply appreciated and we will honour it by placing a plaque with your name and/or company name in our kitchen. We will also arrange a kitchen visit, especially for you, where you can witness first-hand the equipment that you have sponsored in action!
