Campaign Overview

Akshaya Patra implements the Mid- Day Meal programme in 42 locations of 12 states of India. Each day the Foundation feeds 1.76 million children covering more than 15,024 Government schools. The Foundation follows both centralised and decentralised kitchen formats to implement the programme. The NP-NSPE guidelines cite the Foundation's centralised kitchen format as a model infrastructure for large scale production of mid-day meals. Akshaya Patra also serves as a Member of the National Steering-cum-Monitoring Committee (NSMC) for the Mid-Day Meal Programme. The Akshaya Patra Kitchen Infrastructure will give an overview of its compliance to Food Safety and Quality Standards while preparing the meals. 12 centralised kitchens of the Foundation are ISO 22000:2005 certified and the remaining are in the process of getting the certification. Working in partnership with the Central Government and various State Governments, along with the support of numerous philanthropists Akshaya Patra strives to feed 5 million children by 2025. As an extension of its vegetarian philosophy, Akshaya Patra does not provide eggs in its MDMS programmes but by incorporating alternatives such as milk & bananas - It provides meals that are prepared scientifically and with required nutritional value. The food distributed by Akshaya Patra is perceived to be "hygienic, nutritious and delicious. Let's support them. Donate
