The word 'Akshaya Patra' holds a real significant place in Hindu Mythology. It is a vessel which can never become empty in all its eternity. A foundation which goes by this name stands along the Government's Mid Day Meal Scheme in providing nutritious food in sufficient quantities for free to the children in the nation. Millions of children within the age group 6-14 years who often battle malnutrition have been out of this danger.
Akshaya Patra Foundation is in its 19-year journey with covering 14,702 schools feeding almost 1.76 million children in the twelve states of India. The meals that have been served to these kids are in billions. The recent gathering was conducted in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi who was there to feed the 3 Billionth Meal.
The Vrindavan city was the place selected to have this event. PM Modi addressing the event has delivered some great insights on how the various Government schemes are working to make India healthier and cleaner. 'Mission Indradhanush' aiming at vaccinating every child in the country from diseases is going well.

Talking about the role of Cooks, Cleaners, assistants and etc who are involved in the Akshaya Patra Foundation, Modi said that their role is noble and needed. They are serving a greater cause of the nation than just providing a simple meal to the children.
Nutrient-rich food provided in adequate amounts without a compromise on the quality of it is what the foundation offers to these children every meal of their day. Starting with a few hundred, the number has increased to lakhs. And this expansion of their base lets in more children, who would be benefitted a lot in the long run.
Modi Ji had interactions with the kids there at the venue and had a small laugh along with them. He was there to serve the children, and to feed a child the 3 Billionth Meal of the organisation.
