The Akshaya Patra Foundation began the initiative with the vision that “No child in India shall be deprived of education because of hunger.”
In June 2000, They started their mid-day meal program in Bangalore by feeding 1500 children in 5 schools. At that time there was no State run school meal program in Karnataka. Within a few short weeks they had received hundreds of requests from teachers who expressed the dire need of such a scheme.
This over whelming response was the impetus for the growth of The Akshaya Patra Foundation.
Soon after that, The Akshaya Patra launched their online media room and the soon-to-become one of India's most famous NGO blogs! Through it, causes like ending hunger and the right to education for every child are promoted.
The NGO went even further to create accounts on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Hi5 and MySpace.
This is admiration for their remarkable initiatives.
