As a part of the event, over hundred saplings, including flowering plants such as Plumeria and Hamelia, fruit-bearing varieties such as Guava, Sapota and Pomegranate as well as a few varieties of shrubs were planted.

 

The volunteers resolved to pay regular visits to the two schools to take proper care of these saplings and educate and encouragechildren to look after themand plant more trees.

Akshaya Patra is a not-for-profit organization which strives to address the issue of classroom hunger and bring children to school by implementing the Mid-Day Meal (MDM) Scheme in Government and Government-aided schools.

The Foundation is continuously leveraging technology to cater to millions of children.

In partnership with the Government of India and various State Governments, and the inestimable support of many philanthropic donors and well-wishers, Akshaya Patra has grown from humble beginnings serving just 1,500 school children across five schools.

Additionally, in a bid to contribute towards the holistic development of children, Akshaya Patra has initiated programmes such as the Model School project and the Giving Every Dream a Chance initiative. These programmes seek to ensure that the environment at schools is conducive for children and their dreams and aspirations are supported.
