Akshaya Patra Decentralized Kitchen in Rajasthan Supports Employment to Rural Women

A country cannot progress if its women and children are held back; their welfare is an indicator of a nation’s development. Mid day meals promote education, providing children with a bright future, but they can also empower rural women.

The Akshaya Patra Foundation  mid day meal program is active in more than 9000 Government schools across 19 locations of 9 states, with operations in urban, semi-urban and rural areas.  The Foundation serves mid-day meals to over 1.3 million children across India.
