Nourishing Minds. Shaping Futures.

Across the world, it is proven that children learn better when they begin their school day with proper nourishment. 

Yet, millions of children in underserved communities walk into classrooms on empty stomachs — unable to focus, unable to thrive.

The Akshaya Patra Foundation, a social impact organisation and the world’s largest NGO-run school meals provider, builds on the foundation of the Government of India’s PM POSHAN (Formerly knowns as Mid-Day Meal) Programme to change this reality.

With 25 years of expertise in delivering nutrition at scale, we are uniquely positioned to close the morning nutrition gap — giving every child the chance to learn with energy, focus, and hope.

Our Purpose: Fostering healthier, academically successful children empowered to seek better livelihoods and shape the future.

For only ₹1,160 a year (just ₹5 a day), you can ensure that a child steps into school nourished, energized, and ready to learn.

Your contribution does more than feed children. It fuels ambition, strengthens education, and creates pathways out of poverty.

With your support, no child should ever have to forfeit learning because of hunger.
