CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE Keeping the child at the core WHEN A CHILD DREAMS, IT’S AN AMBITION, WHEN A CHILD CHASES THE DREAM, IT’S DETERMINATION, WHEN A CHILD BEATS ALL ODDS TO REALISE THE DREAM, IT’S AN INSPIRATION. On behalf of The Akshaya Patra Foundation, I take this opportunity to convey my heartfelt gratitude to each one of you who has chosen to be our companion on the road to charity. Your steadfast support reassures us that our vision, ‘No child in India shall be deprived of education because of hunger’, is attainable. Your support is a solemn promise that you will always care for the benefit of those who are economically challenged, but equal and sometimes more gifted in terms of intelligence, skill and sincerity. In our 15-year journey of providing mid-day meals to children, we realised that food and education cannot be taken for granted. Since it has been proven that food plays a major role in bringing children to school and retaining them, our focus remains on providing wholesome mid-day meals every day to nourish these young minds. So, they can concentrate on learning and preparing for the future. The lessons at school don’t just make you literate, but instil confidence to face a world that’s getting increasingly competitive. In all, food and education allow a child the freedom to dream. Children are precious, so are their dreams. That is why every child’s dream is important. The difference arises when a well-provided-for child gets the support to secure a future, while a child with lesser means has to overcome obstacles like hunger to prove his or her ability. Hence, at Akshaya Patra, we work towards supporting and nurturing children’s dreams by nourishing their body and mind. We are glad we have the Government of India’s overwhelming encouragement and aid in realising this vision. Also, philanthropic support from altruistic organisations and individuals has been constantly growing, with the willingness to help in every way possible . I present you the Annual Report for the Financial Year 2014-15. This report is an all-inclusive document of the strategic information related to the Mid-Day Meal Programme, the previous year’s accomplishments, associations, financial credentials and the Foundation’s future plans. I am pleased to state that it is your conscious effort towards a promising social change by keeping ‘the child at the core’ which allows me to present the dreams of three Akshaya Patra beneficiaries. These three dreams are a depiction of those million dreams that still await a little support. It’s an effort to convey that by being thoughtful we can provide a whole new meaning to a child’s life. 1
