Akshaya Patra has once again been felicitated for excellence in the area of financial accounting. The organisation has won the coveted SAFA Best Presented Annual Report Awards 2013 in the section of Non-Governmental Organizations (including NPOs) for excellent transparency and accountability as expressed in the Annual Report.
Akshaya Patra’s annual report was judged based on certain parameters like improvement in transparency, accountability and governance. The Foundation came first against all the competing countries of the SAARC region.
The award was handed over to Akshaya Patra at an award ceremony held in Bhubaneshwar and was accepted on behalf of the organisation by Achytya Krishna.
This is a proud moment for Akshaya Patra who is winning a SAFA award for the fifth year in a row.
