I hope we can feed the hungry whenever we are. We all can make a different in our own community and around the world. I have many times taken my left overs from a dinner out and given it to the hungry. We all see them in cities. I have been to every major city in America and you will see a lot of them in downtown area. Donate to the local red cross, food shelter etc. We can donate our time, its not all about money or material things.
We all can make a different in our own lives and others.

Akshaya Patra model is a global model that is scalable and replicable. With modifications it can be replicated in other parts of the world. Akshaya Patra imodel s a apublic-private partnership that relies on local produce, local cuisine and local support to make its model sustainable.
We encourage other countries to visit our kitchens in India and learn more about our model. Hunger should not be a barrier to education for chilldren in any part of the world. Our vision is no child shall be deprived of education because of hunger.

Is Akshaya's approach applicable to other countries besides India? Do you have any plans to go outside of India?

Feeding children in school gives them an incentive to come to school, stay in school and provides them with the necessary nutrients they need to develop their cognitive abilities to focus on learning. For many of the children in India, the Akshaya Patra meal is their only complete meal for the day.
Experts agree that hunger and malnutrition have serious, long-term negative consequences on cognitive ability, social and emotional development, and motor and sensory skills. Without proper nutrients in childhood, these children face a life with a greater risk of disease and early death. They also have a much smaller chance of succeeding in school. Therefore, even those children who stay in school often do not perform to optimal levels because they are simply starving and unable to concentrate, or retain what they have learned.
These dual epidemics of malnutrition and lack of education are not only having an effect on these children, but pose a serious obstacle to the world economy. It is estimated that child malnutrition is responsible for 22 percent of the country’s burden of disease, affecting both productivity and income. With a potential labor and consumer force of one billion people, this has serious implications for the global economy.
Akshaya Patra has a demonstrated impact on the children it reaches. AC Nielsen, an independent research firm, performed an impact assessment in 2006, measuring key indicators such as enrollment, attendance and health. The study demonstrated an increased enrollment, better health and improved performance among students who received school lunches, especially among the female students. The report showed a 13.8 percent and 34.2 percent improvement in enrollment for boys and girls respectively in Bangalore schools. In addition, attendance rates increased in all schools they tested, particularly in Vrindavan, where there was a 14.6 percent increase.

What are the benefits of feeding children at school? Are you reaching enough children just at school?
