The Akshaya Patra Foundation, for 20 years, has been a purveyor of the Mid-Day Meal Programme (MDM) supporting government school students in India with a hot nutritious lunch every school day, encouraging underprivileged children to remain enrolled and complete their secondary education.At its core, the Foundation aims at countering malnutrition while supporting the right to education of socio-economically disadvantaged children. The midday meal or breakfast served in schools serves as an incentive for children to attend school and for parents to send their children to school. Resulting in an improved enrolment rate in government schools, regular attendance, enhanced performance and nutritional profile of the children, while reducing the dropout rate. The arrangement also serves as a source of economic support to the family, as every school day one nutritious meal for their child is taken care of.At present, beside serving children through the MDM Programme, Akshaya Patra continues to serve communities in need:Cooked Meals served to:·        COVID-19 patients and their families in hospitals·        Essential and frontline workers, including sanitization workers, staff in government hospitals·        Migrant workers·        Homeless and people in night shelters·        Food for Isolated Groups of people e.g. the elderly·        Disadvantaged familiesGrocery Kits distributed to:·        Households in underprivileged communities (contains pulses, rice/atta, oil, spices, fortified salt and sugar; ingredients in kits are based on local tastes)·        Government school children through the Happiness Kit Initiative (contains rations to promote nutrition, hygiene products to boost immunity, and stationery)·        Family Happiness Kits distributed to serve the entire family.

OFTEN one's calling to serve the community and make a difference is hampered by lack of resources. Plustrust nurture and support such individuals, particularly rural women and youth, to become change-makers.Vibha Kumari's dreams of becoming a teacher were dashed when she did not get through the government Shikshamitra recruitment programme. But that didn’t deter her. She started tutoring children from nearby villages - from two the number grew to 40.With her obvious talent - and passion - for teaching she was employed by a local NGO in her hometown of Birpur, Bihar. In 2018 they encouraged Vibha, now in her fifties, to apply for Plustrusts’s Rural Women’s Edupreneurship (RWE) fellowship - which she did, and has not looked back.“First I used to write on their books or on the blackboard, but after the Plustrust four-day workshop I realized children need an environment to explore their artistic vision,” says Vibha. Now, at the community learning centre she runs she has switched to activity-based experiential-learning to teach Language and Maths to her growing tribe of students.It has been such a joyful process that Vibha herself has discovered that she can write poetry and she is publishing her book of poems soon‘PeopleLikeUS’ Trust incubate social initiatives by individuals like Vibha, who listen to their inner voices and want to work towards inclusive education for children, youth and women or in the field of animal welfare through their Changemaker and RWE R2R fellowships.For these aspiring changemakers, workshops are conducted in a number of towns in various states to build their confidence and skills to scale their reach, and further support is given during implementation.The Changemaker fellowship started in 2014. To date 32 fellows’ ideas of change have been incubated by Plustrust, ranging from innovative urban bird shelters to income generation for rural youth to working with the Adivasi community.Plustrust not only provide economic support, but also help the fellows construct proposals, conduct workshops and help upscale projects. Over time these ‘Changemakers’ are often relied upon to mentor and pass on their skills to the new batch of fellows as Anchors.Started in memory of Gowri Iyer by her mother, her teacher and her friend, the organisation continues to strive to live up to Gowri’s compassion for the disadvantaged and animals. Support Plustrust in listening to the millions of inner voices that are waiting to be heard.
