The Akshaya Patra Foundation, Chhattisgarh NGO unit started operating as a
mid-day meal provider in January 2009. It reaches out to children of 160
Government schools in Bhilai. Apart from Chhattisgarh, Akshaya Patra
implements the mid-day meal scheme in India in nine other states thereby
feeding 1.39 million children every day.
The mid-day meal scheme in India is an effective initiative by Government of
India in countering classroom hunger and illiteracy. Effective implementation
of the mid-day meal scheme in India has the potential to break the vicious
cycle of ‘poverty-hunger-illiteracy’. The Akshaya Patra Foundation that
depends partly on donation for charity operates in partnership with the
Central Government and various State Governments has been implementing
this programme in 10 states of India.
It made its way as Chhattisgarh NGO and started providing mid-day meal to
Government schools in Bhilai from January 2009 onwards. Since then, this
Chhattisgarh NGO has fed 23,674 children across 160 Government schools.
The benefits of the mid-day meal scheme in India were brought across to the
children of Bhilai by the effort of Akshaya Patra in conjunction with the
support from Government and benevolent donors.
As a result of functioning in a Public-Private Partnership model, Akshaya Patra
that depends on donation for charity is able to provide ‘unlimited food for
education to millions of children every day. The Foundation aims to feed 5
million children by 2020.

Akshaya Patra has well understood the connection between food and
education in the socio-economic context of India, where one free meal
becomes an incentive for the parents to send their children to school. This
incentive further adds up to these children getting educated along with
receiving one wholesome meal per day.
