Akshaya Patra is gearing up to construct its most modernised and also one of its largest kitchens yet! Scheduled to come up in approximately three months in Hyderabad, this Akshaya Patra kitchen will be using state-of-the-art technology from Sweden to greatly reduce the cooking time normally taken in the kitchen. With this equipment the kitchen staff will be able to cook 1,600 kg of rice, 4,800 litres of sambar and 2,000 kg of vegetable in just one hour.
The Akshaya Patra kitchen that is currently operational in Telangana utilises the Cauldron Technology for cooking food that will be used to feed 1 lakh Akshaya Patra beneficiaries a day. However Satya Goura Chandra Dasa, the President of Akshaya Patra’s wings in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh discusses how this technology will help the Foundation improve on the time spent. “"With existing technology, we used to start cooking at 3 am and complete it by around 9 am, but soon we will be able to finish the cooking in two hours, from 6.30 am to 8.30 am," he says.
These customised machines will go a long way to helping Akshaya Patra provide the tasty, nutritious food to thousands of children in an extremely time efficient manner in future.
"We have already conducted trial runs of the food machines in Sweden and they have been successful. Once the GHMC sanctions the building plan, we will begin construction. It is estimated that the new kitchen will be operational in three months," adds Chandra Dasa.
