Let’s give our children their right to a brighter future Posted: 17 May 2012 01:59 AM PDT Poverty continues to be one of the biggest hurdles India faces in its quest to emerge as a superpower of the new Millenium. There seems to be a 'thin red line' we must cross before we take a leap to the other side of the fence. Poverty is the vicious 'keeper', guarding it. A new study on nutritional challenges reports that more than half of child deaths in India are due to malnutrition. The rise of similar strident alarms has fallen on deaf ears. Akshaya Patra's call for action has resonated with thousands of people across the world who wish to make a difference. Off Off Thu, 2012-05-17 read more

An Akshaya Patra initiative to eradicate hunger and poverty Posted: 17 May 2012 12:15 AM PDT A huge smile spread across Yogitha's face as she put the phone's receiver down. She had been talking to a prospective donor who had confirmed to her that he was more than willing to donate a considerable amount to Akshaya Patra's noble cause.
