Akshaya Patra, a mid-day meal NGO in India has been nourishing government school children with healthy mid-day meals for the past 21 years. Amid crisis situations, this NGO steps in to provide food relief to economically weaker sections of the society, and it did the same during the COVID pandemic too.

It has been an unprecedented journey ever since the outbreak of COVID-19. World organisations, government bodies, NGOs and charitable organisations, healthcare systems, public administrations, and the civil society has been putting up a tough fight against COVID-19 for more than two years. The rapid spread of the pandemic across the world affected each and every one and all aspects of our lives – personal, professional, financial, emotional, and most importantly health. While we were gearing up with hygiene and immunity products to safeguard ourselves from the virus, the socio-economically weaker sections were pushed to battle against an additional crisis called hunger.

The support system
The adversities caused by COVID has been devastating, but it brought the entire society together with the objective to help each other in all possible ways. While a section of the society was fighting against the virus, the other section was striving to ensure well-being and food security among the underprivileged communities. Several NGOs began food relief services and individuals came forward in full support to feed the needy by choosing to donate to charity. As always, The Akshaya Patra Foundation, an NGO in India stepped in to provide food relief to socio-economically weaker sections in the form of cooked food and ration kits.

The best time is when things come to an end to make way for new beginnings. It is a beautiful feeling when you have to become skilled to accept the new situations and let go off of something that you had been clinging to for a long time. It is time for the doors of 2021 to close and open the doors of 2022 to welcome us into a New Year of fresh experiences, thoughts and actions.

Beginnings are beautiful for us, but…

For people coming from marginal sections of society, new beginnings make them anxious because they have a preconception that everything will be difficult. 2020 has been unpredictable for millions of people who do not have enough to save, earn or take care of their families. The Akshaya Patra Foundation stepped forward to take care of families struggling during these difficult times.

Programmes are undertaken by this NGO to ensure the future is better for people suffering during difficult times.

Apart from implementing the Government’s midday meal scheme, Akshaya Patra ensures healthy food for people in over 71 locations of India since the beginning of supporting the whole nation with the COVID -19 Relief Programme. So far, a cumulative of 20.5-crore meals have been served to people who are in need of food and essentials.

CELEBRATE THIS NEW YEAR WITH AKSHAYA PATRA
Akshaya Patra has always stepped up beyond implementing the midday meal scheme. It has provided food relief to people in times of distress, like the pandemic for example. However, now that everything seems to be aligning with the new normal and children have started going back to school, the NGO in India is back to feeding nutritious meals to school children. This New Year, let’s make 2022 memorable for little children who dream of having a career, aspire to become professional dancers, singers, rap artists, teachers, etc. Millions of children speak of a million dreams; it is in our hands to help them reach their destination. Donate online to support unlimited food for education of these beneficiary children.
