Children are called the key of paradise. It is important to ensure that they are well-educated and healthy. The Akshaya Patra Foundation, a non-profit-organisation, which is in the forefront in ensuring the welfare of children as it aims to feed the future now.

It is important to educate them and ensure that they become a responsible citizen of the country. Children are the future of the country. Their actions will determine the future of the nation. To ensure that they receive proper nutrition and education, the Government of India has come up with numerous initiatives. Mid-Day Meal Scheme being one of them.


It is important that every citizen of the country understands the importance of doing their bit to ensure that children are consuming nutritious food. This is important for proper development of their mind and body.

Children should be free of fear, hunger, preventable diseases etc., to ensure they lead a happy life. The situations in some parts of the world makes it unsuitable for children to live. Take the case of man-made preventable wars and conflicts as in Syria today that has seen children being the worst affected due to the conflicts and have been left to the forces of many a deviant ideology.

In the month of November, when we also celebrate Children’s Day is a time for all adults to affirm that children would never have to suffer for the follies of some adults. Nor will they be allowed to suffer from hunger. This is where Akshaya Patra plays a major role. It ensures that children of school-going age need not miss school for want of food.
