No child deprived of education due to hunger

Akshaya Patra ('Inexhaustible vessel' in Sanskrit) provides nutritious Midday meals at government/government-aided schools.
16 lakh children across 13,529 rural government schools in 11 states are fed every school day. They aim to feed 50 lakh children everyday by 2020.
Their kitchens are state-of-the-art and we have seen for ourselves the high levels of hygiene and use of technology to bring down costs to Rs8 per meal.
