Nelson Mandela, once said “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.”

Education not only gives people the means to a better life but also something more profound: the ability to grow and learn through one’s own experiences. The strength of a nation can often be determined by the education of its people.

Madhu Pandit Dasa, our chairman, believes that without the untiring efforts of all the stakeholders that make up The Akshaya Patra Foundation, we would be able to reach out to so many children today.

“The staff and workers from the Foundation, our well wishers, donors, Trustees and Advisory Board Members, the Union and State Government, our political leaders and concerned citizens are all to thank for this phenomenal growth.”

Madhu Pandit Dasa, our chairman, looked back on ten years of The Akshaya Patra Foundation:

“One thing is certain from this experience: there is boundless compassion in this world. We must involve more and more willing human hearts. I wish to see many more people come forward to help those less fortunate. There are millions of children around the globe in need of their support. Their smiles will transform our lives.”
