Blog to Feed a Child, a must for every Blogger

-

Blogadda came up with a new challenge for Bloggers around India.

"Blog to Feed a Child" Challenge

Everytime a blogger takes up this challenge and writes on the topics mentioned, Blogadda  will donate money to Akshaya Patra, an NGO

The Topic/Theme

Tell us how you think we can eliminate classroom hunger. Imagine what India would be like if no child goes hungry and an entire generation is educated.

The Donation

For every blog post written, Blogadda will sponsor meals for an Akshaya Patra beneficiary for an entire year

The first thought which hit my mind when I read about this challenge is “Mid-Day meal programme”

Come to any Government school around 1pm and you will see kids waiting in line to be served by the very famous MID-DAY MEAL program of Indian Government. Often in an open environment, with the clatter of the plates and the adorable smiling faces around, it’s a feast to one’s eyes.

This popular programme started in the state of Tamil Nadu as early as 1930 is today introduced in every state on Supreme Court’s orders in November, 2001. Under this programme cooked meals are provided to all children in primary government schools for free. It lead to increased enrollment of students and attendance, even helped in fighting against caste system and provided employment to women. Thus the programme has been hugely successful since then, and today is said to be World’s Largest School Feeding Programme. 


"According to me supporting the Mid-Day meal programme and ensuring it reaches all Government schools of India with providing quality and whole some meals to the children is the most effective way of eradicating Class room hunger and ensuring attendance."

Akshaya Patra aims at eradicating class room hunger and provide education to all through Mid-day meal programme.
From their start, on 2000 when they were supporting 1500 children today Akshaya Patra have reached world record for being a non-profit organisation to  provide wholesome food to 1.4 million children across 10 states in India

So cost of sponsoring a child's year long Mid-Day meal would be Rs. 750 only!
Donate to the cause or if you are a blogger registered with Blogadda, take up this challenge:

I am going to #BlogToFeedAChild with Akshaya Patra and BlogAdda.

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 49 ; the forty-ninth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton . Pic from Mangalorean.com Born and brought up in mumbai, travelling without ticket did seem like a normal thing to do, for people travelling in Mumai locals. I wouldn't advice that though. But what I advice you to never do is to travel without ticket in busses of Mangalore, Karnataka. After I shifted to manglore, I came across the most efficient bus conductors whom you couldn't fool. Their stares would make anyone feel terrible and petrified. The dialogues and taunts, of course Rajnikanth had to be a bus conductor before. This is my story about how I managed to travel without ticket in a express bus in mangalore. Like all the epic experiences, this happened in my final year of engineering. I had been to my friend's place i

A Short Poem Dedicated to Mumbai

-

I had been away from this city for 6 years. Now I am back here...in Mumbai. Its Mumbai-Lost & Found for me. So... This poem is what I have learnt about the city from recent experiences.... The city has many avatars to show and so much to write about, I am writing a short one covering some ... The rules are precise, if you can understand. This city has lot to offer if you can withstand. Built on dreams and hopes Nothing mere coincidence. So as to meet your destiny, the city is full of expedience. City of the daring heroes, but not for the pompous. Its is for the proud, but not for the self-righteous. Never challenge the city, For then it won't have mercy No extra deference it asks.. Just the required courtesy. Everything here is a telltale, noting obtuse nor dopey details. Memories of millions it preserves, from personal to historical trails. Bollywood running through its veins, CIty of catchphrase, dialogues and abuse.
