In November 28, 2001 the Supreme Court of India passed an order which mandated that: “Cooked mid-day meal is to be provided in all the government and government-aided primary schools in all the states.” Akshaya Patra was called in to give testimonies to the Supreme Court in order to implement the mandate.
By the time the Ministry of Human Resource Development (Department of School Health and Education) extended its support to this noble cause in 2003, Akshaya Patra was already reaching out to 23,000 underprivileged children through the support of our donors.
With the partnership of the Government of India & various State governments, as well as the generosity of thousands of supporters, The Akshaya Patra Foundation has grown from a small endeavor to a mammoth force that stretches across the country.
Currently, The Akshaya Patra Foundation is feeding 1.3 million children everyday!
