Noida, India (20 May 2025) : The Chetu Foundation, the non-profit entity of Chetu, a global
digital intelligence and software solutions provider, recently hosted a team visit
to a local Delhi school where the students receive daily nutritious lunches
provided by the Akshaya
Patra Foundation.
“The joy on the children’s faces as we served meals and handed out
Chetu t-shirts was a reminder of how small acts of giving can create lasting
change,” said Manish Tyagi, HR Manager at Chetu. “Through partnerships like
this, the Chetu Foundation continues to drive positive change in underserved
communities.”
Afterward, the Chetu volunteers visited one of Akshaya Patra
Foundation’s centralized kitchens, where they observed the high-capacity and
hygienic meal preparation process that powers the mid-day meal program across
the region. Akshaya Patra, an NGO, feeds more than 2.25 million children daily
in over 24,000 schools across India.
“Visiting the school and the kitchen highlights the importance of
Akshaya Patra’s mission,” said Swati Gupta, Team Member at Chetu. “Many of
these children come from disadvantaged families and don’t have nutritious meals
at home. Many parents send their kids to school because of the daily healthy
meals.”
“To think Akshaya Patra feeds millions of schoolchildren daily,”
Senior Team Member Rajeev Pandey added. “The visit to the central kitchen was
eye-opening. It showed the massive undertaking Akshaya Patra does to help
disadvantaged kids.”
Shaili Bansal, Executive Director of the Chetu Foundation, said
they are proud to support Akshaya Patra’s mission.
“At the Chetu Foundation, we believe that ensuring children have
access to meals and essentials like clothing is vital to their education and
growth,” she said. “We are thrilled that our Chetu Team Members volunteered and
saw first-hand the work Akshaya Patra is doing.”
In the past year, Chetu donated $160,000 to support the Akshaya
Patra Foundation’s mission of eradicating classroom hunger and improving
children’s lives through food security.
