Hunger among children triggers a vicious circle of socio-economic evils. AKSHAY PATRA Mid Day Meal provides a solution to breaking this vicious cycle.

Page 6: Akshay patra scamper

Need of a Mid-day Meal Program Nearly 13.5 million children in India

are out of school.* Their circumstances force them into

menial labor in order to earn a single meal a day.

Research shows that universal education has lagged because of prevalent hunger and malnutrition. They reduce enrolment in schools,

hamper performance levels and increase dropout rates, especially among girls.

Hunger impairs a child’s performance even if they do attend school. 

The food provided therefore acts as an incentive to bring children back to school.

It prevents them from working while also discouraging their education.

Strengths of the Program Legacy of the founder and a strong vision Integrated network of volunteers- government, corporates,

businessmen and philanthrophists. The Government of India, along with various State Governments,

provides subsidies in the form of cash and grain grants. Highest quality food prepared in shortest possible time in the

Centralized kitchens- 40,000/-rotis in 1 hours  It provides children with a meal rich in nutrients that improves

their health and increases their overall well being.  Centralized & Decentralized operations to reach the remotest of

place. Independent food distribution system. Strong presence on Social Media-on facebook, and twitter. Attract International Philanthropy arms to make a donation. Donation collection system from all type of transactions Marketing through organizing summits, attracting the attention of

bloggers.

Page 8: Akshay patra scamper

Concept of Centralized Kitchen A centralized model is one where all the

cooking activities of a particular location are concentrated within one large kitchen.

Each centralized kitchen has the capacity to cook between 50 000 to 150 000 meals daily

Achieving economies of scale. Cooking takes place in mechanized, steam

heated cauldrons custom built to reduce the cook to consume time.

Highest standards of hygiene by minimizing human handling of food.

Freshly cooked food is packed in stainless steel containers and transported to various schools in custom built vehicles (about 10 to 15 schools per vehicle).

Security personnel escort each vehicle to ensure safe delivery of meals.

Hubli, Vellary, Vrindavan. Jaipur,Gandhinagar,

Ahmedabad, Nathdwara, Mysore, Puri, Hyderabad,

Vadodara and Guwahati

Technology enabled cooking methods

High standards og Hygienne maintained

Page 10: Akshay patra scamper

Decentralized Kitchen A decentralized model is one where all

the cooking activities of a school take place in an area close to the school itself.

Decentralized kitchens are set up in remote areas of the country where difficult terrain makes setting up of large infrastructures infeasible.

In such areas, Akshaya Patra representatives identify self-help groups (in many cases women’s groups), carry out the cooking process.

They are trained and educated to prepare the meals and provided with all the raw materials and infrastructure required for cooking.

The Akshaya Patra representatives are responsible for the operations and smooth running of the program

Program ImplementationA National Steering-cum-Monitoring Committee is set up at the national level to monitor the program, assess impact and provide policy advice to Central and State Governments. Central assistance in the form of subsidies is released upon submission of the committee’s Annual Work Plan by the Program Approval Board.A nodal department is authorized to take responsibility. Implementation cells are organized by the nodal department and one officer is appointed at each district and block level to oversee effective implementation of the program.
