The Akshaya Patra Foundation commonly known as Akshaya Patra is a non-profit

organisation in India that runs school lunch programme across India.[1] The organisation was
established in 2000.

In June 2000, The Akshaya Patra Foundation started the mid-day meal
programme in Bangalore, Karnataka. The initial days of implementation were
not smooth sailing for the organisation. But soon came the helping hands of
Mohandas Pai, who took the initiative of donating the first vehicle to transport
food to the schools; and Abhay Jain, who promised to bring in more donors to
contribute for the further expansion of the programme.
The humble beginnings of the Foundation started with serving of the mid-day
meals to 1500 children across five Government schools in Bangalore.
The programme embraced the vision that
No child in India shall be deprived of education because of hunger.
Today, through the partnership with the Government of India and various
State Governments, as well as philanthropic donors; the organisation runs the
worlds largest mid-day meal programme. Built on a public-private
partnership, Akshaya Patra combines good management, innovative
technology and smart engineering to deliver a nutritious and hygienic school
lunch.
The organisation distributes freshly cooked, wholesome meals to over 1.4
million underprivileged children, on every school day, in 10,770 Government
schools in 24 locations across 10 states of India
