Every school day, we serve nutritious meals to 2.35 million children studying in government and government-aided schools across 16 States and 3 Union Territories. For over 25 years, we have been driven by a simple yet powerful vision: No child in India shall be deprived of education because of hunger. In pursuit of this vision, we have cumulatively served over 5 billion meals, helping children come to school nourished and ready to learn. Our work extends beyond school meals to include the Morning Nutrition Programme, Anganwadi Feeding Programme, MEAAL – School Rejuvenation Initiative, Giving Every Dream a Chance mentorship initiative, AVSAR Scholarship Programme, Akshaya Patra Alumni Network (AAN) and disaster relief feeding, enabling us to support children and communities through every stage of their journey. Innovation, scale and sustainability are at the heart of everything we do. From automated kitchens and technology-enabled supply chains to renewable energy, electric delivery vehicles and resource-efficient practices, we continuously innovate to deliver nutritious meals with quality, safety and efficiency. Our impact is made possible by the collective support of governments, corporate partners, foundations, institutions and individual donors who believe that nourishing children is one of the most meaningful investments in the future. Follow us for stories of impact, partnerships, innovation, sustainability and opportunities to help create a future where every child can learn without hunger.
