There is enough food on our planet to feed every man, woman and child, yet the challenge is to make this food accessible for all.
India is in a state of urgency to eradicate hunger, poverty and illiteracy. Proving food to children as an incentive to enroll and attend school poses as a solution for all three of these issues plaguing our country. When children receive wholesome, tasty meals in school they will not have to resort to child labour to earn money for food. They stay in school, and a satiated appetite allows them to focus on their academics and eventually complete school and be prepared for mainstream society. According to the Global Hunger Index, in India 43.5 per cent of children under the age of five are underweight. Food is necessary for children to study because hunger does not permit them to concentrate. Satisfied appetites lead to happy children who are motivated to pay attention in class and learn. To donate towards children's health and education is a noble cause that must be taken up by all till we eliminate hunger and poverty from this world.
World Food Day is an occasion for the all communities in the world to get together to generate awareness about the worldwide hunger problem. World Food Day was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1980 to celebrate the establishment of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations in 1945. The primary objective of this day is to increase public awareness and to bring people from all over the world together to fight against hunger, poverty and malnutrition.
Akshaya Patra ensures the use of healthy ingredients in the mid day meals that satisfy all the dietary requirements for growing children.
It offers the opportunity to strengthen national and international solidarity in the fight to end hunger, malnutrition, and poverty. There is enough food on our planet to feed every man, woman and child, yet the challenge is to make this food accessible for all. Donating towards food for children not only increase the quality of their health, but also their life since the availability of food in schools guarantees that they will be empowered with education.
