In the following year, it expanded the mid-day meal programme in Odisha by making an advent to Nayagarh, a remote location of Odisha. Here the Foundation set up decentralised kitchens to cater to the need of the children. Nayagarh is one of the two locations that follow the decentralised model of kitchen infrastructure; the other being Baran in Rajasthan.

Akshaya Patra’s Mid-day Meal Programme Cost

The Akshaya Patra Foundation meticulously plans, manages and executes its mid-day meal programme. It believes in being transparent with all its stakeholders. The Foundation has therefore been regularly publishing its Annual Report with information about its developments, achievements, plans and audited financial statements. The Foundation works in a Public-Private Partnership model and this model allows the Foundation to receive grants and subsidies from Government and donations from supporters. On an average this is how your money is spent on mid-day meal programme: 84% of the income is used towards mid-day meal programme cost, 12% towards programme management cost and 4% towards fund raising and communication requirements to raise awareness of the need to feed hungry children.

At Akshaya Patra, it costs just Rs. 750 to feed a child every day for one whole year. This means when a donor contributes Rs. 750 to feed hungry children and end classroom hunger, the donor is actually taking care of a child’s mid-day meal each day for an entire year. Each donation is acknowledged by Akshaya Patra by sending a receipt of donation along with Tax Exemption Certificate to the donor. A contribution of Rs. 750 makes the donor eligible for 100% tax exemption.

The mid-day meal report further encourages the sustenance and continuation of the mid-day meal programme with its positive impact seen in terms of increased enrolment and attendance, decreased drop-out rate, enhanced level of concentration and energy among children along with improved socialisation among children.

Criticality of NGO Role in India

The current scenario of poverty, hunger, malnutrition, illiteracy and many related issues implies the critical NGO role in India. As is true in global scenario that NGOs are playing a vital role in countering various issues related to social, environmental, health and rights, so is true in case of India too. The Government of India has initiated many different schemes and programmes in order to bring about a change in the socio-economic, health, education and many such factors. One among them is the Mid-Day Meal Scheme. This Scheme is aimed to providing cooked mid-day meal to children of government schools and government-aided schools. This Scheme works as a supporting pillar for Government initiated education schemes to attain 100% literacy.

The Mid-Day Meal Scheme is a nationwide programme and approximately 10.45 crore children in 11.58 lakh schools benefits from this Scheme according to 2013-14 estimate. Considering the implementation of mid-day meal in Karnataka, Akshaya Patra in Bangalore has been one of the key implementers in the state. Akshaya Patra began providing cooked mid-day meal at five schools in the city in June 2000. The response from the beneficiary schools and the enquiries from the neighbouring schools clearly indicated that need for mid-day meal at schools.

The Government of India also witnessed the need of NGO participation in implementation of such a huge programme. Thus, the role of NGO in India to implement the Mid-Day Meal Scheme turned out to be vital because NGOs can make available the benefits of this Scheme at the grass root level of the society, and that’s where the actual transformation begins. Since 2000, Akshaya Patra in Bangalore has been serving mid-day meal to government school children. Apart from Bangalore, Akshaya Patra covers four locations to provide mid-day meal in Karnataka namely Mysuru, Hubballi, Ballari and Mangaluru. Since its inception, Akshaya Patra has been very strategic in its expansion plans so as to ensure sustainability of the programme. It fathomed the significance of its work as an implementer of a nationwide programme and thus furthering its service, Akshaya Patra expanded its operations in nine other states during 15 years. Currently, the impact of this NGO role in India is felt among more than 1.4 million children residing across 24 locations.

Studies conducted by Akshaya Patra in association with third party assessors to assess the impact of mid-day meal in Karnataka and the other beneficiary states have shown results indicating improved attendance and concentration among children, reduction in classroom hunger, increase in enrolment and retention thereby lowering drop-out rates. This further indicate the importance of sustainability of the feeding programme along with indicating that we need to expand the programme to benefit more children. The NGO role in India thus becomes even more challenging and at the same time accomplishing too. But social change requires social participation too and hence Akshaya Patra provides ample volunteering opportunities. Get involve with the organisation to see how you can participate in providing mid-day meal. Your support towards even a single child is the beginning for a wave of change.

NGO in Assam – Serving Children Amidst the Seven Hills

By establishing a centralised kitchen unit as a mid-day meal NGO in Assam, Akshaya Patra made its advent into the north-eastern part of India. Assam is a valley surrounded by seven hills of the neighbouring six states. A state that is proud of its lush green habitat and rich flora and fauna is also in the run to reach 100% literacy level. The literacy rate of Assam in 2011 was estimated to be 73.18 which is slightly below national average of 74.04%. However, the socio-economic status of many sections of the state requires children to struggle for a nutritious meal and education too. To overcome this scenario, Akshaya Patra received an invitation from State Government to start providing mid-day meal in Assam that led to the establishment of a centralised kitchen in Amingaon near Guwahati in February 2010.

Since 2010, there has been no looking back and the beneficiary base has only been increasing. Currently, this NGO for children provides mid-day meal to over 53,000 children of 592 government schools in the vicinity of Amingaon location. Over the years of service, the NGO has witnessed the positive change that has come about in the lives of children with the initiation of the mid-day meal in Assam. Thus the Non-Governmental Organisation in Assam looks forward to spread its operations in the state so that more children can be benefited by the mid-day meal programme. The meal menu caters to the local palate of the region and it includes rice, dal (curry made of pulses) and a variety of vegetables accompanied with other delicious dishes like kheer that’s served during the week.

Here is a small story of one of the beneficiaries of this NGO for children. Krishna Das, a Standard IX student of a government school in Sualkuchi, hails from a village in the banks of the Brahmaputra River. She says that for the past four years she and her friends have been travelling 20 kilometres to and fro on foot every day to reach school. It takes them about 50 minutes to reach school because there is no school in her village. The roads are not motorable and rains add to these existing woes when it becomes nearly impossible to venture out of homes. Only a year ago the village got water supply, until then residents had to rely on natural water sources. One half of the village is yet to receive electricity connections. Amidst all these hardships Krishna’s parents encourage her and her elder brother to continue their studies. Krishna says that the mid-day meal in Assam has been of tremendous help for herself and many like her who hails from very humble families. This meal sustains their energy until they reach back home in the evening along with being a nutritious meal in the afternoon. As she aspires to become a professional that will promise her a regular income, she also hopes that soon her village will be connected with roads and have facilities like schools and hospitals.
