Dr Sudhir Arya, a member of the Foundation said that this is the first Akshay Patra kitchen in Jharkhand and will feed one lakh students of 800 government schools in Hazaribagh district per day. Over 40 vehicles have been pressed in service to supply meals from Demotand-based mega kitchen to each school timely.
“Launching an Akshaya Patra Kitchen has long and short-term benefits. In short term benefit, supply of cooked meals would save time of teachers in government schools who have to share time in preparation of mid-day meals. Now they would concentrate completely on teaching students. In the long term Akshaya Patra Kitch will help in bailing out anaemic girls by providing quality meals,” said Dr Santvana Sharan.
Dr Sharan said that before supplying the meal to schools, a lab would test the quality and freshness of items daily.
“Hazaribagh Akshaya Patra Kitchen is the 69th unit Foundation in the country. The 2nd kitchen in Jharkhand would be opened in Ramgarh district next year”, said Dr Sharan.
