As ages passes by, Nation aims at strengthening the economy & become prosperous. It also aims at providing an amicable ambience to its citizens. This can be achieved:-
Ø If and only if the citizens are literate. (Provided all literates act in all walks of life as learned people, let’s assume it is so)
Ø There is no internal sources hampering the progress
This enunciates that to create the desired environment the society should ensure that constituents are literates as well as poverty is eradicated. Need for eradicating poverty or feeding the hungry is to combat the perils attached with the condition. To emphasize the ill-effects that hunger can bring about, I borrow the maxim given by the renowned (Mahakavi) Bharatiyar :-
“If in this world there is no food for an individual- then we have the right to destroy this world”
These words throw light on responsibility of society to ensure that all are fed adequately. Going through various case studies of the thieves and other persons involved in anti-society activities, will definitely circumscribe to one cause i.e. No FOOD.
There is a good nexus between education and food; this was correctly identified by our national leaders. Measures such as mid-day meals were introduced, where food acted as incentive for education and drawing reasonable children to schools.
In a highly populated country like us, it’s quite a challenging task for the Government to fulfill it solely. So, there exists need for NGO to act as catalyst to the process.
One such NGO devoted to this cause is Akshaya Patra. Before going into the services done by them, I would like to draw reader’s attention to sanctity of this name. The name-Akshaya Patra is derived from Mahabharata, one of the great epics of
The name- tells all about foundation’s vision of providing inexhaustible supply of food, so that no single child is deprived of education for want of food.
Foundation has recorded a great success of providing food for 1500 children. However this is way behind their target & ultimate objective on account of the universal constraint i.e. the “Money”.
