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."
