A Charitable Resolution

The New Year is just hours away and it’s time to start reflecting on your resolutions for the coming year.

For some of us it will be to hit the gym, for others it will be to commit to breaking bad habits like alcohol or narcotics, or even just cutting back on the chocolate. And for a few it will be committing to serving a higher cause than themselves, to giving back to society, and trying to change a life.

Akshaya Patra Centralized Kitchen for School Meal Program

A centralized model is one where all the cooking activities of a particular location are concentrated within one large kitchen.

Each centralized kitchen has the capacity to cook between 50 000 to 150 000 meals daily thus achieving economies of scale. Cooking takes place in mechanized, steam heated cauldrons custom built to reduce the cook to consume time.

Mechanization has also helped us meet the highest standards of hygiene by minimizing human handling of food. Freshly cooked food is packed in stainless steel containers and transported to various schools in custom built vehicles (about 10 to 15 schools per vehicle). Security personnel escort each vehicle to ensure safe delivery of meals. There are two types of menus prepared throughout the country: North Indian and South Indian. The North Indian menu consists of three items: roti, sabji and rice  while the South Indian menu also consists of  rice, sambar and curd.
