Akshaya Tritiya: a timeless tradition of giving

Turn tradition into impact.

Feed children. Build brighter future

Akshaya Tritiya is one of the most sacred and auspicious days in India, symbolising prosperity, abundance and new beginnings. Celebrated with devotion across the country, this festival carries a powerful belief that any good deed performed on this day multiplies and brings everlasting blessings. But beyond buying gold or starting new ventures, Akshaya Tritiya also offers a meaningful opportunity to give back.

What if the true essence of Akshaya Tritiya lies not just in what we gain, but in what we share?

Understanding the Significance of Akshaya Tritiya

The word “Akshaya” means “never diminishing,” representing eternal prosperity and continuous growth. Rooted in Indian tradition, Akshaya Tritiya is associated with acts of generosity, kindness and compassion. It is believed that daan (charity) performed on this day yields endless rewards, making it an ideal occasion to support those in need.

Across generations, families have celebrated Akshaya Tritiya by engaging in acts of charity, such as donating food, clothes and essentials. Among these, anna daan, the act of feeding others, is considered one of the most sacred offerings. It reflects the understanding that true wealth lies in uplifting others and sharing one’s abundance.

Meaningful Ways to Celebrate Akshaya Tritiya

While many people mark Akshaya Tritiya by purchasing gold or starting new ventures, there are several meaningful ways to celebrate this auspicious day:

• Investing in something valuable for the future

• Beginning a new personal or professional journey

• Supporting those in need through acts of kindness

• Choosing to donate for children and contribute to their well-being

Among these, supporting initiative like PM POSHAN programme (Mid-Day Meal Programme) stands out as a powerful and impactful way to celebrate. It transforms a traditional festival into an opportunity to create real, lasting change.

The True Spirit of Giving: Feeding Children

At its core, Akshaya Tritiya is about sharing abundance. And what better way to do that than by ensuring that no child goes hungry?

For millions of children in India, a mid-day meals is more than just food - it is a lifeline. In many cases, it is the only complete meal they receive in a day. Hunger often stands as a barrier to education, preventing children from focusing in classrooms and reaching their full potential.

Choosing to support children on Akshaya Tritiya bridges this gap. It turns a symbolic celebration into a meaningful act of compassion, ensuring that children receive the nutrition they need to grow, learn and thrive.

How Mid-Day Meals Transform Lives

Mid-day meals do far more than satisfy hunger. It lays the foundation for a better future.

Nutritious school meals have been proven to:

• Improve attendance and reduce dropout rates

• Enhance concentration and classroom participation

• Support physical growth and overall health

When children are free from the distraction of hunger, they can fully engage in education. Over time, this leads to better learning outcomes, increased confidence and brighter opportunities.

By choosing to feed children, individuals contribute directly to this transformation. What may seem like a small act of giving can have effects at various levels impacting not just a child, but their family and community as well.

Strengthening Charity in India Through Collective Action

India has a long-standing tradition of giving, and Akshaya Tritiya reinforces this cultural value. Today, structured initiatives like the PM POSHAN initiative (Mid-day Meal Programme) are playing a crucial role in addressing child hunger and malnutrition at scale.

However, these efforts grow stronger with public participation. When individuals come together to support such causes, the impact multiplies.

By contributing towards mid-day meals, you become part of a larger movement dedicated to ensuring that every child has access to nutritious food and education. It is a simple yet powerful way to align tradition with purpose.

Turning Tradition into Impact This Akshaya Tritiya

Akshaya Tritiya is more than a festival; it is an opportunity to create meaningful change. The belief that good deeds performed on this day bring lasting rewards encourages us to give selflessly and act with intention.

This year, go beyond rituals and material celebrations. Choose to donate for children’s mid-day meals that can nourish both body and mind. Your contribution can help a child stay in school, focus on learning and build a brighter future.

In the true spirit of Akshaya Tritiya, let your act of giving become a source of endless nourishment, not just for those who receive, but for the values we uphold as a society.

Because when you give on Akshaya Tritiya, what you share never diminishes - it only grows.

   

A Healthier Tomorrow Starts Today: Akshaya Patra’s Nutrition and Sustainability Mission

 

Building Healthy Childhoods through Nutrition: The Akshaya Patra Way

Across India, millions of children share Vaishali’s story. And at the heart of it is The Akshaya Patra Foundation, an initiative transforming lives through nutrition while addressing a growing global concern: food waste.

Nourishing Childhood through Mid-Day Meals

For many children, access to regular, nutritious food is uncertain. This is where mid-day meals play an important role.

By serving freshly cooked meals in government schools, Akshaya Patra ensures that children not only attend school regularly but also stay attentive and engaged in their learning. Hunger is no longer a distraction; it is replaced with the comfort of a wholesome meal.

Today, the Foundation reaches over 2.35 million children across 23,000+ schools, making it one of the largest school feeding programmes in the world. Each plate served is a step toward a healthier, more educated generation.

The Power of Nutrition in a Child’s Life

A healthy childhood not only depends on access to food; it depends on the right nutrition. Every meal is thoughtfully designed to include:

• Essential grains for sustained energy
• Proteins for growth and muscle development
• Vegetables rich in vital micronutrients

This approach helps improve immunity, supports cognitive development and combats malnutrition. Over time, the impact goes beyond physical health; children become more confident learners, ready to shape their own futures.

Reducing Food Waste

While feeding millions is a massive responsibility, doing so sustainably is equally important. Food waste is a pressing global issue and large-scale kitchens have a unique role to play in solving it.

Akshaya Patra addresses food waste through:

• Technology-driven, state-of-the-art kitchens that ensure precision in cooking (Using FIFO (First In-First Out) and FEFO (First Expiry-First Out) methods)
• Efficient supply chain systems that reduce excess and spoilage (Route optimisation & GPS tracking of delivery vehicles to reduce the cook-to-consumption time)
• Carefully planned quantities to minimise leftovers (School Relationship Officers take feedback and head count from schools and increase or decrease the quantities accordingly)

Every grain saved is a resource preserved and another child nourished. This commitment ensures that the impact is not just wide-reaching, but also responsible.

 

An ‘Earth Day’ Approach to Everyday Feeding

Earth Day serves as a powerful reminder that caring for people and caring for the planet must go hand in hand.

Akshaya Patra integrates sustainability into its daily operations by:

• Optimising energy used in centralised kitchen
• Reducing its carbon footprint through efficient logistic
• Converting food waste into Biogas energy

This means that every mid-day meal served is not just about nourishment, but also a step towards a more sustainable future.

 Beyond the Plate

The impact of these meals extends far beyond the classroom.

For families, it eases the burden of providing daily nutrition.
For children, it creates a sense of security and dignity.
For communities, it builds a foundation for long-term development.

A single meal can improve attendance today, but over time, it can shape education, livelihood and futures.

 A healthy childhood should never be a privilege; it should be a right.

By supporting Akshaya Patra, you can help ensure that no child has to learn on an empty stomach. Your contribution can provide nutritious mid-day meals, reduce food waste and build a better tomorrow.

Because when we nourish a child, we nourish the future.

The impactful tradition of donating on Akshaya Tritiya

 As the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya approaches, the spirit of generosity fills the air. This day holds profound significance, as it embodies the essence of giving and abundance. With every act of donation, we not only uphold a cherished tradition but also pave the way for transformative change in the lives of countless individuals.

Akshaya Tritiya, celebrated on the third lunar day of the bright half of the Indian month of Vaishakha, is believed to bring unending prosperity and blessings. It is a day when the energies of the universe align to magnify the impact of our actions. 

One of the core beliefs of Akshaya Tritiya is that any act of charity performed on this day yields eternal rewards. This timeless wisdom underscores the profound impact of our actions, reminding us that even the smallest contribution can create a wave of positivity. Charity donations on Akshaya Tritiya transcend mere material offerings; it symbolises a commitment to give back to society for all the good that we receive. Embrace this opportunity to harness the collective goodwill and channel it towards eradicating hunger among children. Every meal served to a hungry schoolchild is not just sustenance for the body but overall nourishment. It instils hope, dignity and promises a brighter future.

Beyond the immediate beneficiaries, the impact of donating on Akshaya Tritiya extends to society as a whole. By addressing the root causes of hunger and poverty, you can pave the way for sustainable development and social cohesion. Empower children to break free from the cycle of hunger and poverty and reach their full potential.

Celebrate Akshaya Tritiya with children

On Akshaya Tritiya, join hands with The Akshaya Patra Foundation to create a world where no child goes to bed hungry. In alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 2: Zero Hunger) and (SDG 4: Quality Education), turn the tide against hunger and build a future where every child has access to nutritious meals and quality education.

Whether it is sponsoring a mid-day meal for a school (under the PM POSHAN Abhiyaan, earlier called the Mid-Day Meal (MDM) Programme) or supporting children’s education, every donation counts and contributes to a collective endeavour of building a hunger-free nation.

This auspicious Akshaya Tritiya, remember the true essence – to give without expectation, to serve with compassion and to sow the seeds of abundance for generations to come. In the spirit of this timeless tradition, pledge to make a difference in the lives of those in need and usher in a brighter tomorrow for all.

The power of a child’s voice

 An Austrian psychoanalyst, writer and philosopher Otto Rank said, “What we change inwardly will change the outer reality.”

Indeed! Today, India is a frontrunner in raising a progressive socioeconomic reality and an inclusive world. Its upcoming generation—an amalgam of various backgrounds—has begun working on a future where individuals are not only self-sufficient but also transcend their capacities to achieve bigger milestones for their families, country and humanity at large. 

A significant credit for it goes to the child welfare schemes by the Government of India, with a greater focus on children from lesser privileged families. Programmes like the PM POSHAN Abhiyaan are making quality nutrition available to children from challenging backgrounds to help them reach their highest potential. 

Here are the dreams of some PM POSHAN beneficiaries who study in government schools and receive mid-day meals (MDM) from The Akshaya Patra Foundation.

Bindiya Choudhary, 8th standard, Government Girls Higher Secondary School, Bikaner

Bindiya works hard every day to fulfil her dream of becoming an international basketball player. She says, “I’ll become a legendary basketball player and represent our country internationally. Recently, we had an interschool basketball tournament. It was a tough competition, but we won. I scored the last two points by shooting a lap shot,” 

But there’s often a strictly disciplined lifestyle behind such an achievement. “After school, I reach home, rest for a while and leave for the basketball court around mid-afternoon. The court is around 10 km away from my home. I cycle till there and practice for 3-4 hours,” Bindiya explains.

Suryadeep, 8th standard, C.P.S Kharadpada, Silvassa

For Suryadeep, discipline and self-dependence are non-negotiable traits in life. He aspires to join the Indian army and protect the nation. At the tender age of 13 years, he is learning and practising every skill that will help him survive in army camps. 

Suryadeep stays away from his family in a hostel near his school. His father is a labourer at the Hindustan pencil manufacturing factory. Both his mothers are housewives and all his siblings work daily wage jobs. 

In his room, he pulls a medal from his cupboard and says, “I’m the captain of my school’s kho kho team. We had an inter-school kho-kho competition recently. Our team bagged the gold medal in it. Now we’re preparing to participate in the district-level kho-kho competition.” 

An organised daily routine at the hostel and rigorous training in sports have made Suryadeep independent, disciplined and adept in survival skills. He plans to utilise these experiences to join the army. He says, “I plan to get enrolled in the army under sports quota and train harder to become a commando.” 

Ayush Vishwakarma, 3rd standard, Primary school, Bhitkuri, Sevapuri, Varanasi

Ayush Vishwakarma likes coming to school because he learns good habits here. He aims to become an IAS officer when he grows up and serve those who live around him. He wants to help the children of the marginalised get a good education so that they become successful when they grow up. “I got inspired watching a woman on the TV who became an IAS officer and helped the poor,” he recollects. 

“I talk about my dreams with my brother. He says I should become a doctor instead. But I've already started preparing for my dream to become an IAS officer by running and doing Yoga every day,” he concludes.

Anshika Sharma, 8th standard, Smart Model School Paharpur, Lucknow

Anshika Sharma was made the head girl of her class because of her academic performance and people management skills. “When children become restless, they go to teachers and complain frequently. Although teachers take care of serious matters, they made me a head girl to address issues within the classroom. They chose me because I was one of the top scorers and handled tasks skillfully,” she says. 

The 13-year-old likes coming to school because she gets to play, study, eat and practice her hobbies. “I have multiple hobbies. I participate in sports events and always bag the first or the second prize. But when I take part in drawing or mehendi competitions, I always come first! I receive a lot of support at home for all these activities. They tell me to work hard and be focused on whatever I do!” the 8th-standard student says in a cheerful tone.

When asked about her ambition, she replies, “I aim to join the police force when I grow up and maintain law and order in the country. I want to punish wrongdoers, protect good people and ensure that justice prevails. I’m not preparing for it right now but will start soon. The mid-day meals (MDM) I get here give me the energy to study and persevere. We get dal rice, kheer tehri, kadhi rice and roti subzi. But my favourite is kheer tehri!”

Feed the children and nurture their aspirations with MDM

Children need to be healthy, both physically and mentally, to achieve their dreams. Schemes that educate and feed the children like the PM POSHAN Abhiyaan will help those from challenging backgrounds live to their fullest, align their efforts with their goals and achieve the future they desire. By sparing a few seconds to contribute for their nutritious mid-day meals, we all can do our bit for a prosperous, equitable and resilient future. Furthermore, the Government of India has made provisions for taxpayers under the Income Tax Act of 1961 wherein they can make tax-exempt donations to registered NGOs.

At Akshaya Patra, one can make a tax-exempt donation for mid-day meals (MDM) within a few clicks online, keeping them nourished and in school throughout the year. 

Maximising Goodness with Charitable Donations

Charitable donations are a powerful way for individuals to make a positive impact on society while enjoying potential tax benefits. When you contribute to a cause you believe in, not only are you supporting a noble endeavour, but you may also get income taxdeduction under section 80G of the Income Tax (IT) Act. Understanding the ins and outs of tax exemption donations can empower you to make a difference while optimising your financial position.

Ways to Reduce Income Tax

Choose the Best NGO in India

The first step in maximising tax benefits for your donations is to ensure you contribute to a qualified charitable organisation. These organisations are typically registered as nonprofits and can provide you with the necessary documentation for tax purposes. Check the official list of approved NGOs in India to make sure your chosen cause is eligible.

Itemise Your Deductions

To avail of tax benefits, you need to itemise your deductions when filing your income tax return. Instead of taking the standard deduction, which is a fixed amount set by the Indian Revenue Service (IRS), listing your eligible expenses individually can potentially lead to a larger deduction. Keep detailed records of your charitable contributions, including receipts and acknowledgement letters from the organisations you support.

Understand the Limitations

While charitable contributions can help you get tax exemption, there are limitations to the 80G deductions. Generally, the IRS allows you to deduct up to 60% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) for cash donations to public charities. For non-cash donations or contributions to private foundations, different rules may apply. Be sure to consult the latest tax guidelines or seek advice from a tax professional.

Tips on Maximising Donations

Give Wisely and Strategically

Consider making larger donations in specific years to maximise your tax benefits. If you anticipate a higher income in a particular year, increasing your charitable contributions can help offset your tax liability. Planning your donations strategically can make a significant difference in optimising your overall financial picture.

Go online for donations

Don't limit your contributions to cash alone. Non-cash donations, such as online donations, can also qualify for tax deductions. Keep records of the online certificates and tax exemption certificates. 

Take Advantage of Employer Matching Programmes

Many employers offer matching gift programmes, where they match their employees' charitable contributions. Check if your employer participates in such programmes. This not only increases the impact of your donation but benefits of tax exemption too.

By strategically choosing the right causes, maximising contributions and exploring all available avenues, you not only make a positive impact on society but also optimise your financial well-being.

A reflection on the role of NGOs in shaping tomorrow

 Each day, the world encounters a myriad of challenges that require collective efforts to overcome. Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) are the unsung heroes that harness support from millions to bring impactful change. From local to global, they make a difference everywhere. The best example is the role played by NGOs during the COVID-19 pandemic. They provided immediate relief to people by providing food and medical supplies and implementing response strategies in collaboration with the government and local authorities.

Numerous NGOs work dedicatedly for different causes, shedding light on different social issues. They inspire people to support those in need and strive for their development.

Let’s dive into the list of areas where NGOs contribute.

• Education

Education is the prime thing that can enhance the living standard. When one receives a good education, it will open doors for numerous high-tier job opportunities, and consequently, a better future. However, children from financially limited backgrounds often face the stark choice of labour to support the family or manage household responsibilities, depriving them of their fundamental right to education. Several NGOs work to bridge this gap by offering scholarships and financial aid and also run educational institutes and remedial classes for students in need and thus broaden their access to educational opportunities.

• Hunger eradication 

Hunger remains a persistent social issue leaving many without a proper meal. Numerous NGOs strive to tackle this issue by providing nutritious meals and advocating for policies that guarantee every individual’s access to this fundamental need - food. By investing in food assistance programmes like distributing nutritional supplements to people in need or child nutrition endeavours like the School Breakfast Programme or Mid-Day Meal Scheme, NGOs strive to build a hunger-free future.

• Disaster relief

Nowadays, crises have become the ‘new normal’. Whether natural or man-made, disasters seem to unfold daily across the globe. During these times, NGOs consistently step forward as the initial responders, offering vital disaster aid such as food, water, medicines and shelter.

• Animal rights

One fact that people often forget is that animals also have space in this world as rightful inhabitants of the Earth. Numerous NGOs work for the welfare of animals, relocating them to safer environments and providing care. In some instances, they work on the conservation of natural habitats of species or create habitats that emulate their natural living conditions.

• Help for the elderly

The welfare of old age people is yet another concern of India. Senior citizens often face difficulties in receiving adequate care and support, preventing them from leading a quality life. NGOs work to address this challenge. For example, they run old-age homes for the elderly. Similarly, to people who are struggling with health and financial issues, they provide essential treatment and support. They provide accommodation, food and recreational activities and collaborate with the government and other stakeholders to create a more supportive environment for senior citizens.

• Environment conservation

In the unbridled pursuit of development, people forget to protect nature. The environment is the source of living. NGOs serve nature and revive the lost greenery. They raise awareness about environmental issues, conduct reforestation programmes and implement strategies to protect natural resources, paving the way for a sustainable future.

• Women empowerment

Many NGOs function for empowering women to live independently and to walk shoulder-to-shoulder with men. They support their education and offer skill-building programmes, empowering them to actively participate in economic activities. These organisations extend their reach to women in rural areas, aiming to integrate them into the forefront of economic participation. They address issues related to gender violence and support women to create a good future for themselves.

How do NGOs work?

• Collaboration

NGOs collaborate with stakeholders such as the government, corporate organisations and other NGOs to bring the change they want to see in the world. They conduct research, gather data and collect money to implement activities effectively. This collaboration also allows companies to fulfil their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitments.

• Fundraising activities

NGOs conduct various fundraising activities and bring people together to work for a noble cause. This doesn’t just help pool resources from different avenues but also instils a feeling among people that they are significant contributors driving societal change. The joy of donation inspires people to participate in such activities frequently and makes them aware of the various issues around the world.

• Advocacy

While people often readily associate with NGOs which work on the service delivery front, there are others which occupy the advocacy space. These NGOs advocate and influence policy decisions through avenues such as thought leadership, thus having a significant impact in domains like human rights, social justice, etc. There also exist NGOs which focus on awareness and research.

Regardless of their type or area of impact, NGOs have a responsibility to inform donors about how their contributions are utilised. By maintaining transparency in all their activities, NGOs build trust among their donors, assuring them that their donations are used effectively and align with the intended goals. When choosing an NGO to support, this is one aspect that needs to be taken into consideration.

NGOs act as a mediator between the government and individuals by addressing issues and advocating for the protection of rights. By supporting NGOs, individuals become catalysts for global change. This benefits both sides - donors experience the joy of giving and enjoy tax benefits while NGOs secure the necessary funds for their mission.

Through working for the betterment and upliftment of socio-economically weaker communities, NGOs attempt to bring uniformity in receiving the benefits of the economic growth of the country. When you donate to charity, you lay the foundation to change the future of the world for better.

Akshaya Patra Fuelling Aspirations in Andhra Pradesh

 The Akshaya Patra Foundation is a not-for-profit entity serving mid-day meals (MDM) to 2 million+ government school children of India every single school day. The promise of zero classroom hunger first made in 2000, is yielding results across 67 locations in 15 states and 2 union territories today.

The Government of India mandated the execution of the Mid-Day Meal or MDM Programme (now PM POSHAN Abhiyaan) across the country to incentivise education in government schools. Akshaya Patra, among several other NGOs, became the implementing partner for the MDM programme and has relentlessly addressed classroom hunger ever since. The NGO has also proactively provided food assistance to people during emergencies like floods, rainstorms, droughts and the COVID-19 pandemic. 

NGO in Andhra Pradesh

Akshaya Patra has its largest presence in two of the 15 states it serves. Andhra Pradesh is one of them, with the NGO’s state-of-the-art, centralised kitchens addressing classroom hunger across its 10 locations. 

Akshaya Patra’s association with the state started in 2008 with its centralised kitchen in Visakhapatnam. Today, it has become a well-acclaimed NGO in Andhra Pradesh, nourishing 1.3 lakh+ children from humble backgrounds in Kakinada, Mangalagiri, Nellore, Ghambiram, Gudivada, Srikakulam, Kuppam, Ongole and Kalyandurg.

Recently, the Ghambiram kitchen in Visakhapatnam was certified with ISO 22000:2018. The unit prepares 16 tonnes of rice, 12 litres of dal or sambar and 300 kg of curry every cycle. Despite the enormous amount of food being cooked in the kitchen, its hygiene, quality and safety are not compromised.

These kitchens come to life at 4 in the morning every day and finish cooking by 8.30 AM. But before that, the raw materials are sorted and cleaned thoroughly, and the vessels are sterilised with steam. Customised insulated delivery vehicles then deliver the prepared meals to allotted government schools. Such a setup keeps the food hot and retains its freshness until it reaches the children. 

What goes on the plate?

Pappucharu (a type of sambar), green leafy vegetable dal (lentil curry), rice, sweet pongal (a rice-based sweet dish), vegetable biryani (a popular rice dish), pulihora (tamarind rice), sambar (a mixed vegetable and lentil curry), vegetable curry, raitha (a curd-based side dish), janthikalu (a South Indian savoury snack) and bananas are cyclically served to beneficiary children in Andhra Pradesh every school day. The state government has carefully designed the menu for the Mid-Day Meal Programme to cater to the palatal preferences of these children. Accordingly, Akshaya Patra procures raw materials from approved suppliers, which undergo stringent checks for quantity and quality before being accepted into the kitchen. 

The NGO in Andhra Pradesh follows a rice-based menu in for regional 

acceptability and less food wastage. Additionally, the different components of the meal served ensure that children consume government-approved, balanced proportions of nutrients each day.

Nurturing a compassionate society

Like all Akshaya Patra kitchens, the kitchens in Andhra Pradesh also operate on Public-Private Partnerships and receive government support to run the PM POSHAN Abhiyaan. Through the years, generous contributions from donors have helped the NGO deliver nutritious and safe meals to lakhs of children in thousands of schools, thus incentivising them to come to school, study and excel in areas of their interest. 

A donation of ₹1,500 to Akshaya Patra can provide regular and wholesome meals to a government school student for an entire academic year. These children will then grow up to be qualified professionals in various fields but also be generous and compassionate because of the help they receive as children.

So, let’s join hands and rise together!
