A child’s future is significantly impacted by their access to education, which helps them break the cycle of poverty. The Akshaya Patra Foundation is one such NGO that tries to help children with their holistic development. Our organisation is dedicated to ensuring that children have access to food and education which in turn helps in their attendance, enrolment and retention in school.

For people who are living with limited opportunities, having access to food and education is a gleam of hope for a better life. Our NGO is dedicated to giving nutritional and educational assistance to those who need it the most through our PM POSHAN Abhiyaan (Mid-Day Meal Programme). The BackToSchool campaign is one such campaign that encourages children to resume their studies after their summer vacation.

BackToSchool’s mission is to give children from backgrounds with limited opportunities access to a high-quality education, regardless of their socioeconomic status, and to give them the tools they need to improve their lives and the lives of those around them. Every child will have access to a high-quality food and education and will be able to realise their full potential.

Promoting education as a means of achieving social and economic empowerment is our goal. Moreover, we also strive to give children the knowledge and abilities they require for survival. Through this programme, we envision to live in a society in which every child have access to good food and education and has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

With the help of our BackToSchool programme, we have been able to significantly improve the lives of children in need. We have supported access to food, reduced hunger and poverty, education and encouraged environmentally friendly behaviours. We have also made educational resources and opportunities available. The funds for the BackToSchool campaign is raised through a number of channels, including private donations, corporate sponsorships and foundation grants.

BackToSchool consistently addresses obstacles for children to get access to food, an education and a good life. We give children with limited opportunities, nutritious school meals every day which helps them pursue their education and follow their dreams.

To promote children’s development and create a positive learning environment, we collaborate with the government, schools, parents and communities. By implementing these straightforward measures, we can remove obstacles to the food and education and guarantee that every child grows up to be a responsible adult.

We can raise nutritional and education levels and the future by working together. Extend your support to The Akshaya Patra Foundation and help address hunger.

Mother’s Day is observed on the second Sunday of May to celebrate the wonderful women in our lives, who are the basic foundation of our existence. Mothers are an embodiment of compassion and kindness—two values intrinsic to Akshaya Patra’s efforts to serve the children to support their nutrition and education.

Akshaya Patra serves as the implementing partner of the Government’s flagship school feeding programme, PM POSHAN (formerly known as the Mid-Day Meal Scheme).

Just how a mother ensures that her child is well fed at all times, we at Akshaya Patra, strive to make sure that children in government and government-aided schools have access to at least one wholesome meal every day throughout an academic year. This acts as an incentive for parents to send their wards to school, thus increasing the enrolment and attendance rates. The meals that the children receive help them to pursue their dreams.

Just how a mother always wants the best of everything for her child, Akshaya Patra kitchens continuously try to deliver the best nutrition to children. Quality of food is given high importance and care is taken at all times to ensure that hygienic, fresh, hot and nutritious and tasty food reach children on time every day.

Cooking at these kitchens start as early as 4 am in the morning and meals are delivered to school on time every single day. The kitchen employees are like that mother who starts her day early while her child enjoys his doldrums of sleep.

This year, Mother’s Day will be observed on 14th May 2023.

So what better way to celebrate Mother’s Day but to channelise compassion and kindness in all of us and show unconditional love and unending care to those who need them the most?

You can do this by donating to an NGO in India. When you donate to feed children, you don’t just take care of a basic necessity but you put them on a path to bright future, enabling them to break the vicious cycle of poverty. It’s more critical now than ever to help them.

One of the ways you can make a difference in the lives of ‘children’ from backgrounds with limited opportunities is by donating to Akshaya Patra’s kitchens that reflect a mother’s love and care.

When you support Akshaya Patra, you are giving children the chance to happiness, nutrition, education and perseverance.

This Mother’s Day, honour your mother’s values by imparting unconditional love and care. Nourish children.
