"I want to teach as many kids and help them stand on their own feet.” These are not just the words of an aspiring teacher rather these are the words of a well aware child. Martuthi L.R, a mid-day meal beneficiary, at a young age is aware of the need of education and hence is determined to pursue a career as a teacher. Though due to circumstances he started his schooling late yet this mid-day meal beneficiary has chalked out his plans of pursuing higher education. His elder sister who could not attend school encourages him to remain focused and study sincerely to achieve his goals.
While talking about his school and ambition Maruthi also expresses his gratitude towards Akshaya Patra. He says, “The Akshaya Patra mid-day meal has not only helped me but also many others like me who come to school empty stomach. The freshly cooked Akshaya Patra mid-day meal is like a blessing for us and especially during summer holidays.” He goes on to add, “I have gone through hardships and hence I know the significance of one meal to sustain through the day in school.”
