The Akshaya Patra blog
for mid-day meal beneficiary touches upon the factor of entrepreneurs getting
involved with the cause of mid-day meal programme. The Akshaya Patra blog talks about Mini nom nom’s, a London based Food
Company working towards reducing child obesity in the United Kingdom. Through
her business, Lisa Sohanpal, the entrepreneur also looks at attempting to
counter child employment and hunger in India.
The Akshaya Patra blog brings to fore
the concern of working parents when it comes to choosing healthy ready-to-eat
food for their children. Addressing this concern Sohanpal launched her healthy
ready-to-eat brand Mini nom nom’s in 2014. The packed food has been widely
accepted for its ‘no salt and preservative’ approach. It has also gained
popularity for the social value it stands for like raising awareness among
British children about the prevalence of hunger and poverty that prevails in
the many countries and the need to bring change and also utilising a part of
the profit towards feeding mid-day meal beneficiaries of Akshaya Patra in an
Uttar Pradesh school.
The Akshaya Patra blog
for mid-day meal
beneficiary also mentions that Akshaya Patra’s mission of feeding five
million children by 2020 inspired Sohanpal in contributing towards the cause.
She opines that getting food at school will retain the children at school and
will shield them from going out to earn a square meal. The mid-day meal will
also improve attendance and in the long run children will be able to break the
cycle of poverty with the education they receive at school.
The
Akshaya Patra Foundation, NGO in India has
implemented the mid-day meal scheme to feed the future of India. The
organization is feeding the government school children of 24 locations across
10 states in India.
