The Prime Minister inaugurated the Akshaya Patra midday meal kitchen in Varanasi.
The Akshaya Patra Foundation runs one of the world’s largest school feeding programmes in collaboration with the government’s Pradhan Mantri Poshan Shakti Nirman (PM POSHAN) scheme.
The kitchen will feed over one lakh children in a bid to ensure that they don’t miss out on education due to poverty.
