The Narsingi kitchen of Akshaya Patra Foundation has received financial support from Gemini Edibles & Fats India, the firm behind Freedom brand oil, for a renovation project that will enhance the facility’s capabilities.
The kitchen’s capacity will be enhanced from serving 37,000 beneficiaries to 50,000 beneficiaries daily, the Foundation said on Monday in a release on the company pledging support as well as sponsoring three electric vehicles (EVs) for the facility. Total investment in these initiatives amounts to ₹2 crore, it said.
Unit president and trustee of Akshaya Patra Satya Gaura Chandra Dasa, who along with P. Chandrashekhara Reddy, senior vice-president of sales and marketing of Gemini Edibles, participated in an event on the collaboration, said “modernisation of the kitchen is a significant step forward in our mission. With the enhanced facilities and the addition of EVs, we are setting a new standard for efficiency and sustainability in service to children across India.”
