Ensure right to education for every child in India. Support ‘Back to School’
by Akshaya Patra NGO in India - Akshaya PatraChildren at school and children outside school – the two states into which India stands divided at the moment. But the good news is, this can be altered with focussed, intensive, and collective effort of government, NGOs, business community, and the civil society. Yes, when each segment of the society come together, millions of children from challenging backgrounds get a chance to attend school and continue their education by coming back to school each academic year.
Akshaya Patra’s effort

Foundation, a mid-day meal NGO in India has been supporting
education of children by providing them with freshly cooked nutritious meals on
each school day. The Foundation has been able to benefit more and more children
in a sustainable way and looks forward to further expand the school meal
programme. Over the past 18+ years of its service, Akshaya Patra has witnessed
transformational change in the lives of its beneficiaries.

the overall development of its beneficiaries by initiating various
child-centric programmes such as Scholarship Programme, Talent Development
Programme, and Student and School Transformation Programme. Since it is

supporting their school meals for the new academic year.

ACT to make a difference
Malala Yousafzai precisely said, “Let us remember: One
book, one pen, one child and one teacher can change the world.” Thus, more the
number of children you bring back to
school, greater is the impact. Spread the message of the need of
nutrition and education in proper growth of children and steady progress of the
nation. It’s time, India must stand united to bring equality in health and
education of children. And, to attain this desirable state, generosity has to
be combined with concerted effort. So, act now. Donate for children.
