If Akshaya Patra food was not there then I would have been vending on the sea-beach with my father and not studying. That is why I am requesting Akshaya Patra to provide the Mid-Day Meal from standard I up to standard X. If Akshaya Patra Foundation could provide Mid-Day Meals to all the school students in all school, then not only there will be mental and physical development of the students but they will also be interested to study.

Manjunath, a 10th grade student of a Government High School and a beneficiary of the program, has rendered his thoughts on Akshaya Patra in a poem. We wanted to share this poem with you. It was humbling for us, not only to read his beautiful thoughts on Akshaya Patra, but also to know that in the far corners of the less privileged child's world, talent glows unhindered.
Noble is the goal of Akshaya Patra
Blessing for the underprivileged
Blessed are we that we are under its shade
Let its music spread everywhere
Toiling it is, for our benefit
reaching us timely and without fail
Akshaya Patra is the lighting lamp of our life
Pray that it be truly - Akshaya - inexhaustible
Leads the underprivileged to light
Brings a twinkle in every pupil's eye
Noble is the goal of Akshaya Patra
Unfortunate are those who do not appreciate this
From darkness to light
from gloom to bloom
from drowning in the deep sea to safety
Akshaya Patra is the beacon of our life
Noble is the cause of Akshaya Patra
• I am very grateful to Akshaya Patra. Without its support it would have been impossible for me to come up in life. The tasty meal it provided encouraged me to study hard and helped me realize my dreams to be an engineer.

• In our school Akshaya Patra has been providing us with Mid-Day Meals for the past two years. I am regularly eating the food and it has helped ease my family food problem to great extent.
Weekly the Akshaya Patra Foundation is providing us with varied nutritious food items. I like the palao and kheer the most, it is very tasty.
