Be a Cyber Supporter
Sometimes, even though we feel for a cause and want to help, our busy schedules hold us back. In fact, many people believe that helping a child requires a lot of time, something they do not have.
This is not true!You can make the greatest differences in the simplest of ways. All you need to do is raise awareness for our cause of ‘unlimited food for education’. Volunteer as a Cyber Advocate and spread the word about Akshaya Patra. Tell your friends what we do and urge them to participate in any way they can.
All you have to do is :-• Promote The Akshaya Patra Foundation (TAPF) in your social networking profile and ask your friends to follow us.
• Introduce TAPF to all your online communities/ fan clubs etc.
Our Mission
Our mission is to reach out to 5 million children by 2020.
Close to 13.5 million underprivileged children in India are out of school and into child labour in order to earn a single meal in a day. (Source:www.worldbank.org.in)
The surest way to break out of the cycle of poverty is through education. Education can significantly improve the quality of life of a family for generations to come. When the basic needs of a child, such as food are not met, education often becomes the last priority.
We are helping underprivileged children by providing them with a healthy, balanced meal that they would otherwise have to work for. The meal is an incentive for them to continue their education. It helps reduce the dropout rate to an enormous extent and increases classroom attendance.

Education: the Key to a Better Future
The end of the SSLC (10th standard) exams often marks the beginning of a new academic path for students, one that may shape their future aspirations forever. Yet it is one of the most stressful periods of a person’s life. The pressure to perform is high and the stakes equally so. These results will be reflected in their academic profile, playing a role in determining their entry into colleges, the courses they may choose and even the career path they may take.
While this period of change is difficult enough in itself, it presents a special challenge to underprivileged children. They must grapple with the crippling reality of poverty along with the problems it presents everyday. And the stakes for them are even higher. Education is the ticket out of poverty. It is the gateway to their dreams.
In order to nurture those dreams into reality, Vidya Akshaya Patra, an educational initiative of The Akshaya Patra Foundation, was developed. The scheme provides students struggling in their academics with remedial coaching classes that are specially designed to help them in their studies.
Vidya Akshaya Patra has been given renewed impetus by Bruhat Bengalooru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), the administrative body for the civic and infrastructural assets of Bangalore, which requested The Akshaya Patra Foundation to conduct the scheme in areas of the city that suffer from poor student performance in Board exams.
Nearly 1120 students in 16 schools will benefit from the program, which will provide students with extra classes in Maths, Science, English and Kannada over a period of 107 days lasting till March of 2011. Teachers specially trained in the subjects will conduct the remedial classes after normal school hours. Regular tests and assessment based coaching will further add value to the students’ learning experience.
The cost of 1.8 lakhs for the program, along with evening snacks to be provided for the children will be borne by Akshaya Patra. The implementing partner of the initiative is Lotus Education Consultants, Bengalooru, a leading educational consultancy in Bangalore.
“Quality in education contributes significantly to better performance among students. The extra hours of teaching that we will be enabling, will reinforce what the students have learnt during the school hours, and additionally strengthen their understanding. This will ultimately lead to academic excellence. Towards this, we are very honored to partner with BBMP and hope to make a difference to the learning process,” said Chanchala Pati Dasa, Vice chairman of Akshaya Patra.
