The industrial scale of feeding 2 million children every day
In short: Explore the logistical marvel of India's largest non-governmental organization, which manages a massive food production chain to provide daily nutrition for millions.
The Akshaya Patra Foundation operates as one of India’s primary providers of free school meals, having served 3 billion meals to date. Across two union territories and 14 states, 65 kitchens are kept by this group to satisfy such needs.
Within one Bangalore mega-kitchen, 75,000 healthy, hot meals can be prepared during a period of under four hours. This high-volume production highlights the complex coordination required to manage large-scale food security for children across diverse regions.
