With schools being shut during the Covid-19 saga, Akshaya Patra too could have retreated into the government-induced stillness. But that was not its aim. Here's what it did during this period of crisis.
Akshaya Patra has been serving hot, nutritious food to school-going children as 'Mid-Day Meals' for two decades, but the Covid-19 pandemic led to schools shutting down.
The organisation, therefore, had two options before it — the easy one, to shut its operation, and the difficult one, to continue to provide the service despite the odds. Being true to its ethos, it chose the latter.
