books. As most of them crave more games and fewer studies, the pandemic
outbreak was in their favour as it brought education to almost a halt. Due to
the lockdown, schools were shut down and worked with alternate modes to teach
to cope with the outbreak of the virus. These alternate methods, challenged the
families that couldn’t afford technical gadgets for their children’s education.
Based on the family income, underprivileged families had no choice but to get a
helping hand in the family’s income. Hence, forced the child to quit studies
and help them with labour jobs. Due to the education system going digital,
children were deprived of resources and could not access online classes. The
few who had access found it hard to cope with new methods of learning. Slowly,
students lost interest in studying for long hours in a classroom environment. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Pandemic not only imposed a huge challenge to mankind but
also impacted children in many ways. Some of the major interruptions include
lack of classroom environment, breaking of home-school routine and reduction in

to the have-nots’ in terms of food, shelter, and medical facilities. During the
Covid-19 pandemic, most of the children were affected and were deprived of food
and healthy nutrition. Prior to the pandemic, this issue was taken care of by various
NGOs in India and the Government together with the Mid-Day Meal Programme. As
the pandemic outbreak scattered the students from school, facilities like free
education, food, and health were paused. To overcome these challenges of
getting children back to school after the pandemic, the services that were
paused had to resume, like the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD7eyZzihbs">Midday Meal Scheme</a> in India. Schemes like Midday
meals are an effective initiative to indulge students in coming to school even
before the pandemic struck the nation. Therefore, children came back to school for
their love for school meals.</span></p><h2 style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span><b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Akshaya

are the future of a nation as they grow up to become responsible leaders and
future citizens. To grow into great citizens and make the nation proud, every
child must dream and stick to the hope of success. Children’s day is celebrated
on 14th November every year as a mark of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s birth
anniversary. As he believed that every child needs to be appreciated for their
being and growth, his birthday is celebrated to appreciate every child of India.
Each child has a charm and the ability to achieve their goal; their skills and
talents must be encouraged at the right time with the right guidance. This
helps them have a happy and cheerful childhood. Every child’s dream is like a
growing seed for a sustainable future that needs to be nourished and catered to
achieve great heights. Top NGOs in India and individuals come together on
various occasions to support children. They take care of their education,
health, well-beings, nutrition, shelter, physical development, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Life is
sometimes unfortunate and leads to misfortunes, not all children of the nation
receive equal happiness. Some lose homes, parents and other livelihood needs at
a very early age. This hampers their childhood in many ways. It leads to
poverty, hunger and lack of education.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #0070c0; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Among 1.380 billion people, children make 28.6%
of the population. Out of which, 23 million children are deprived of basic
amenities of life.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">To ensure
that every child gets an equal and right opportunity, top NGOs in India, Central
and State Governments and other organisations engage and strive towards
achieving their needs. Every child has the potential to build skills and root
for their desires and happiness. As few children have the privilege to access
every need, top NGOs in India build foundations for such children. Apart from such
NGOs for children, individuals volunteer to donate and help children with their
contributions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Children
are like the hidden stars of the sky. They appear when the sky is clearer. For
them to appear and shine bright in life, they must be provided with clear paths
with less hardship and accessible opportunities. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Food and nutrition
are the essential requirements for a child’s healthy life. In India, more than
9.2 lakh children suffer from malnutrition. In 2000, the Supreme Court mandated
that every child must receive a definite proportion of calories in the form of <a href="https://www.akshayapatra.org/mid-day-meal-programme-implementation" target="_blank">middaymeals</a>, that includes proteins, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, water, and fibre,
proportional to their age. Since food helps and keeps the child active and
healthy, it is necessary to provide every child with the right amount of food
at the right time. Midday meals ensure a balanced diet in children which
enhances a healthy living. To serve proper meals to the children deprived of
nutritional needs, NGOs dedicate themselves to their service. They strive
towards helping these children meet their dreams. With the help of Government
programmes and schemes, NGOs deliver the privilege to certain sections of
children who cannot afford a healthy meal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><a href="https://blog.akshayapatra.org/celebrate-childrens-day-with-us/" target="_blank">Children’sDay</a> is a one-day celebration that lasts until the sun sets; the next day is
again a dark harsh reality for children deprived of essential needs. It is
important to address these needs and necessities every day. As Children’s day
is an important day to every child, it is an opportunity for us as their
well-wishers to think about their problems and solve the same. It is essential to
celebrate this day for their benefit. The Akshaya Patra Foundation serves mid-day
meals to Government school-going children irrespective of celebration and
festival days. Children’s Day is an auspicious occasion to join hands with the

of children who go to bed hungry. Why? In simple terms, because they cannot

they start working at a very young age. They fend for their family to get some more

its inception in 2000, the </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 14pt;">NGO</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 14.0pt;"> has been serving school meals in Government
and Government-aided schools across the country. The </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 14pt;">NGO<b> </b></span><span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 14.0pt;">that started feeding 1,500
children initially, is now catering to 1.8 children who hail from challenging
socio-economic backgrounds, daily. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 14.0pt;">This </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 14pt;">Indian NGO</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 14.0pt;"> has completed 21 years of serving meals. </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 14pt;">Akshaya Patra</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></b><span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 14.0pt;">has worked on a public-private partnership basis, which includes
The Government of India, State Governments, corporate partners and millions of

<p style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 14.0pt;">Today, this organisation has reached a milestone of 21
years. Akshaya Patra has crossed many hurdles, has come this far by
establishing itself and earning the recognition of being the world’s largest
NGO-run school lunch programme</span><strong><span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-fareast;">. </span></strong><span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 14.0pt;">The main motive is not just to provide mid-day meals, but to
provide hygienically prepared, nutritious meals to children. Quality and food
safety are given priority in all the kitchens of Akshaya Patra. The NGO ensures
that children not only have access to unlimited food for education in the form
of </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 14pt;">mid-day
meals</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 14.0pt;"> but
also the prescribed quantities of nutrition. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 14.0pt;">During the covid-19 crisis, many schools were shut and
the children belonging to the vulnerable community were deprived of wholesome
meals and education. During this crisis, the NGO resumed its services to
children by initiating a happiness kit program. Each kit comprised of food
items that provided essential nutrients for daily consumption leading to the
health, growth, and development of children. This<a href="https://www.akshayapatra.org/our-work"> Indian NGO</a> not only fed the underprivileged
children but also initiated various programmes to feed the needy during the pandemic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

and happiness. It’s the time of rejoicing with dear ones. A festival that most
of us look forward to is Diwali and it is right around the corner. The festival
of lights usually falls between mid-October and early November every year. On
this auspicious day, people take to cleaning their homes and decorate them with
lamps (diyas), candles and fairy lights.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">What’s more? It’s all about going shopping
- for clothes and other necessary items for the celebration. On this day, people
dress up, wear new clothes, look their best and perform pooja, donate to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">feed the hungry</b> which is then followed
by sumptuous meals. The celebration concludes by bursting crackers and lighting
fireworks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Diwali is celebrated all over India;
the traditions are diverse. Various mythological stories are associated with
each region. The northern parts of India observe it as the day when Lord Rama
defeated the demon king Ravana and came back to Ayodhya after 14 long years. In
the southern parts of India, people celebrate Diwali as the day when Lord
Krishna defeated King Narakasura and brought peace upon the earth. The eastern
parts of India celebrate this day as the triumph of good over evil. They
believe that Goddess Parvathi took the form of Mahakali to destroy the demon
called Bakrasura. While the western parts of India believe that Goddess
Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity was born from the churning of the ocean – Samudra
Manthan. No matter what the belief is, Diwali reiterates one essence - the
victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

donate for children and bring a smile to their faces. Akshaya Patra - an <a href="https://www.akshayapatra.org/donate-on-this-diwali">NGO inIndia</a> reached out to over 1.8 million school children from challenging
socio-economic backgrounds across the country before the pandemic shook the
whole world. Established in 2000, the main motive of the organization was to
provide unlimited meals for the education of children and to eradicate classroom
hunger by executing the Mid-Day Meal Programme.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

school children by serving freshly-cooked food and mid-day meals respectively. The
onus to become a lamp of hope for the vulnerable communities lies on us. So,
this Diwali lets evoke the spirit of giving and spreading happiness by making small
contributions and uniting to suppress darkness in the lives of the needy. The
art of giving is more delightful than throwing up a big celebration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
