The NGO is helping students realize their dreams by making their foundations strong. Many grow to become doctors, engineers, sports personalities, and what not.

He praised the mid-day meal scheme of the government and the important role the NGO is playing in making it a reality.

Sri Madhu Pandit Dasa, Chairman, the Akshaya Patra Foundation said that the foundation started the Akshaya Patra meal programme with feeding 1500 children in Bangalore. The foundation thought that the maximum they could feed would not be more than 30000 children. But today they are feeding 15 lakh children, which he stated is unbelievable for them. This shows the potency of the programme and its scalability, he said.

Sri Madhu Pandit Dasa emphasized that the Akshaya Patra meal has the potential to break the recurring cycle of poverty and promote self-sustainability. Many children have got engineering and medical seats and some got placed in software companies as well.

But for 15 years now, we have been able to sustain,” Dasa said. From ensuring that no child in India shall be deprived of education because of hunger, the scheme has won many accolades for its transparency, hygiene and tech savvy delivery of cooked meals.

Says APF CEO Shridhar Venkat: “Growth has not been a challenge but sustainably growing is a challenge. Every time we start a kitchen, children come with a hope that they will get a good meal every day. Ensuring food safety especially at the school level which is the last mile and on a daily basis is a challenge. The road ahead is to implement innovative ideas in operations, fundraising and sourcing. We also would like to freely share our learnings with any organisation or an individual who wants to work on alleviating hunger amongst children.”

APF trustee T V Mohandas Pai told TOI: “I think the reason for our success has been how different competencies which are mutually inclusive and collectively exclusive have come together to fight hunger among children.”

PM Narendra Modi has congratulated the foundation for the milestone. “I am happy to learn that the foundation will complete 15 years of serving midday meal to schoolchildren and will serve its second billionth meal soon. These milestones and efforts inspire many to serve children,” he said.
