Dreams are the colours of life. They are the source of inspiration to work hard, no matter what tough trials we need to go through. However, there is a section of people who are forced to forfeit their dreams due to the socio-economic challenges they face. Their focus is more often on arranging at least one meal a day. Have you ever imagined how their children’s life would be? These children face challenges in receiving even basic needs such as good food and education. Isn’t it disheartening to see them giving up on their dreams due to their circumstances?
Akshaya Patra: Creating a Brave Generation through Mid-Day Meals
The Akshaya Patra Foundation is an NGO in India that empowers children to pursue their dreams. Here, we believe that education is the key factor that can improve the lives of children. It gives them the knowledge to design their life and makes them responsible citizens. As an implementing partner of the Government of India’s PM POSHAN Abhiyaan (formerly known as the Mid-Day Meal Scheme), Akshaya Patra strives to ensure that no child in India is deprived of education because of hunger. The journey that started in the year 2000 with 1,500 children has now reached new heights, feeding 2.2 million children every day. In all these years, we have had the good fortune to witness numerous stories of resilience that inspire us to enthusiastically go ahead and continue providing children a nutritious mid-day meal as an incentive to come to school.
