Bengaluru, 2nd June 2025: Committed to addressing critical needs in India in food security and education, Newgen Software Technologies Limited has extended its support with The Akshaya Patra Foundation. This collaboration supports mid-day meals for over 12,000 students across multiple locations including Lucknow, Baran, Mangalagiri, Gorakhpur, Nathdwara, Mant, Vrindavan, Puducherry, and Nellore for an entire academic year. Through this impactful collaboration, approximately 17 million nutritious school meals have been served, helping nourish young minds and support their learning journey.
Since 2017, Newgen has been judiciously supporting Akshaya Patra’s initiatives and helping it provide meals for thousands of children across India, every day. Such partnerships cater to the bright future of a child’s contribution to the great social well-being of communities.
During a recent meeting, Ms. Priyadarshini Nigam, Director and CSR Committee Chair at Newgen Software, was awarded a Certificate of Gratitude from Akshaya Patra in acknowledgment of their invaluable support. On this occasion, she said, “Newgen is proud to have Akshaya Patra as its implementation partner to achieve the goal of providing nutritious meals to the developing minds. The uniqueness of this partnership is how Akshaya Patra helps us reach the remotest corners of the country, to the regions where once a day meal at the school makes the student come back to school every day and focus on education. This year also, we intend to continue the joint effort and reach more students in the interior parts of the country.”
Speaking on the partnership, Mr. Dhananjay Ganjoo, Chief Resource Mobilization & Marketing Officer, The Akshaya Patra Foundation said, “At The Akshaya Patra Foundation, we believe that no child should have to choose between education and a meal. Our partnership with Newgen Software has been instrumental in supporting our mission to provide nutritious meals to children, ensuring that the children focus on learning.”
This collaboration further emboldens the collective efforts of prioritizing children’s health, well-being, and education. By providing wholesome meals, they aim to encourage school attendance, improve nutritional status, and enhance the academic growth of students across India.
