Their  website mentions: "Realizing that a nutritious school meal is an effective means  of getting underprivileged children come to school and complete their education,  we formed a not-for-profit organization in June 2000 to take up this cause. Our  purpose - to provide "unlimited food for education", thus freeing children from  the vicious cycle of poverty and ensuring them an education. 
It was only  right that we named our organization Akshaya Patra – a vessel from which  unlimited amounts of food may be drawn. 
We started as a pilot project in  five schools in Bangalore, feeding 1,500 children and have now grown into a  mammoth endeavor reaching out to over a million children in 17 locations across  seven states in India. 
Today, we firmly believe that feeding and  educating an underprivileged child is not charity; it's our social  responsibility."
