Akshaya Patra Foundation launches programme to support 100 children’s dreams

Dreams are what make us who we are. They are what inspire us to become better, to perform better in order to achieve the things we truly desire. And everybody has the right to dream. The only question is, can you make that dream into reality?

These talents need to be honed under proper mentorship and guidance to make one’s life fruitful and to help him achieve what he was meant to be, not settling for anything less.

And to achieve this very purpose, The Akshaya Patra Foundation has started a program to support 100 children with undiscovered talents from across the country, in an effort to hone their talents in the best way possible, helping them support themselves for the rest of their lives.

Launched at Vivanta, Taj, on June 11 2016 by Infosys Chairperson and Chief Guest, Sudha Murty, the programme is presided by Shri Madhu Pandit Dasa, the chairperson of the program.
