Akshaya Patra
Akshaya Patra is the world’s largest NGO school meal programme, providing hot, nutritious lunches to over 2.35 million children in over 24,000 schools across India every day.
‘Akshaya Patra’ means the unlimited bowl of abundance and sustenance. Founded in 2000, the NGO grew steadily and has already served more than 5 billion meals over the last two decades. It operates in sixteen Indian states and two union territories. Every meal is prepared in one of Akshaya Patra’s 78 kitchens, using local produce, before being transported hot in a custom-designed van up to a distance of 40 kilometers.
Often being the only meal in the day for the child, it serves as a critical intervention addressing hunger and education. Impact studies show Akshaya Patra's meal programme has resulted in an increased enrollment and retention, especially noteworthy among girls and young women, an improved nutritional status, lower dropout rates in educational programmes, improved focus in the classroom and overall academic performance as well as strengthened social development.
With cost efficient kitchen design, streamlined supply chains and effective distribution, Akshaya Patra is able to feed one child with just $20 per year.
