About the Organization

Akshaya Patra strives to fight issues of hunger and malnutrition by making sure that every student has a nutritious mid-day meal every day. They do this by facilitating meal programs at Government schools throughout the country. Meals at school increase attendance, improve student academic performance, and are pivotal in giving all children the opportunity to succeed. 

A Snapshot of Bangalore 

Bangalore is the third most popular city in India and a major global technology hub. Up to 29% of young children exhibit signs of acute malnutrition. This can have long term effects on their physical and cognitive development.
