Your support can change lives...spare two minutes for your nation

India is emerging as the knowledge powerhouse. It is a fact, which the world endorses.

Today, Indians are contributing significantly in the upper echelons of the US economy.

Yes, India has arrived on the global stage but unfortunately this picture perfect is somewhat distorted.

The Bigger picture reveals a different story.The India that is shining today owes its unprecedented success to the knowledge and value based education system. But the moot question is: Has the light of education reached every nook and corner of India?

The answer is a vehement ‘no’ out of the 193 recognized countries, India stands at 105th
Place “education for all” index. As a nation touted to be the next superpower, this piece of information is but encouraging.

What is even more depressing is the fact that is home to 13.5 million who have no access to education. To make their ends meet, these children work as laborers. The fact is knowledge and hunger cannot coexist. Which is why, it is our collective responsibility to fight hunger and ensure that every child in India realizes his true potential.

One time School meal- it is a promise that Akshaya Patra, A non profit organization, makes to every underprivileged child in India and it has delivered it with utmost sincerity and dedication. Driven by a vision of unlimited food for education Akshaya Patra, today reaches out to about 9lakh children across 14 locations in 6 states of India. But the journey is far from over. We need to reach out to more. So, join hands with Akshaya Patra in this revolutionary effort. Together we can open new chapter in their lives.
