What can you get for Rs. 750? Too little or too much – Just enough.

Have you ever wondered what you can do with Rs. 750? Anyone who has lived on a college budget knows that even a seemingly paltry amount like this can be stretched for quite a while. But how long is that while – a day or two, a week, a month? What would you say if we told you that we know how to stretch out Rs. 750 for an entire year. Akshaya Patra’s newest video ‘What can you get for Rs. 750?’ explores the ideas people have about the things they can get for this amount. Talking to a cross section of people Akshaya Patra discovered a range of things that can be bought for the amount, but also surprised them in turn with the information that the organisation uses Rs. 750 to feed one child the mid-day meal for an entire academic year.

In today’s world, with inflation, globalisation and rising disposable income, Rs. 750 has become an almost trivial amount to India’s economically stable class of families. But to the young beneficiaries of The Akshaya Patra Foundation, Rs. 750 means a lot more. It means access to another year of the tasty, nutritious mid-day meal, education and hope.

‘What can you get for Rs. 750?’ shows us that there are many things that are far out of reach with an amount like this, but what it can help attain is health, nutrition, the end of classroom hunger and the growth of India as a nation.

Watch the video and share it, to spread awareness of Akshaya Patra’s cause. This will cost you nothing.
