The scorching summer has taken its toll in North India and school vacation is a welcome relief for many students. But for a large number of children, summer vacation means hard work at the local construction site to earn a little extra income.

This year, such underprivileged children have been given a ray of hope.

The State Government of Uttar Pradesh, happy with The Akshaya Patra Foundation’s service, has requested we continue the mid-day meal program during school vacations.

So even after the 15th of May, when all the schools close, we will be giving meals to the children on time.

We are happy and proud to provide these children with much needed nutrition.
