Bring children ‘Back to School’
‘Back to School’ – does it
rekindle any memory or emotion in you? Well, all of us will have some vivid
memory of our school days and even after years when we relook at those days, it
fills us with immense joy. Clichéd it may sound, but schooling has a lasting
impact in our life. The lessons learnt in class, the friends we shared our days
with, the appreciation we received for our achievements, the guidance and pep
talk we got when we failed, and the inspiration we drew from our teachers, and
many such experiences has indeed played a significant role in shaping up to
what we are today. And, that’s why
Akshaya Patra wants to send as many children as possible ‘back to school’.
The Akshaya Patra
Foundation is a charity for children
in India providing nutritious mid-day meals to school-going children across the
country. Akshaya Patra began its service in the year 2000 and currently nourishes
more than 1.76 million children across 42 locations in 12 states, on each
school day. Over the years of service, Akshaya Patra has witnessed the tangible
impact of school meals on increase in attendance, enrolment, and retention rate
in schools. The mid-day meals incentivise parents to send children to school
thereby initiating education and continuity of the same. Heeding to this,
Akshaya Patra annually conducts ‘Back to
School’ campaign so that children come back for another fulfilling academic
year.
