Harish Mehta

Senior General Manager, Dhanuka Agritech Limited

Keeping our corporate philosophy of focusing on water conservation, providing nutritious food and education for school children, we are pleased to have been associated with Akshaya Patra. We are particularly impressed with the back end kitchen facilities which were hygienically clean. Wishing the children a great future under your patronage.

Satyajit Chakraborty

Executive Director, Boiler Company in Kolkata

I was totally satisfied, both with the method of disbursement and the target population. Instead of spending money on yearly rituals on my parents’ death anniversary, I donate the amount to Akshaya Patra. Money spent on God’s children should please the God anyway.

Prof. Muhammad Yunus

Nobel Laureate Founder of Grameen Bank

This has been a great visit and it is wonderful to see how Akshaya Patra is reaching out to children in a huge way and addressing malnutrition for India’s children.

Goutam Mitra

Retired Executive presently a Technical Consultant, New Delhi

I strongly believe that education is the right vehicle to spread and sustain democracy. Akshaya Patra is doing a yeoman’s job by feeding nutritious food to more than 1.6 million children in India.

GP Girija Shankar

Retired Senior Banker

Charity means helping the helpless, the needy and the infirm in whatever way I can. That way, I can make them feel that they are not alone in this world. I am particularly impressed with the efficiency of the kitchens and the sincerity of the people manning the units at Akshaya Patra.
