ANNAPOORNA

Annapoorna started operations in July 2012 by a few volunteers, and as the activities increased in scale and complexity, it has now blossomed into a platform for more than 600 volunteers to serve, besides thousands of teachers at the schools, who offer their services and collaborate with Annapoorna. Thanks to many caring individuals, like-minded institutional partners and government servants who have constantly supported this noble initiative, Annapoorna now serves nutritious breakfast - free of cost - to over 90,00,000 school-going children at 106,000+ centers located across 25 States and 4 Union Territories! Annapoorna works closely with over 800 local vendors in a decentralized model, with a customized menu to suit the regional palate, and standardized menu within a region to ensure quality. Apart from the breakfast program, Annapoorna is also engaged in setting up Reverse Osmosis-based drinking water plants, constructing a toilet at village schools, and conducting health screening..
