Annamrita Foundation (earlier known as ISKCON Food Relief Foundation) was formed in 2004, to address two of the most important challenges of India – hunger, and education by providing unlimited, wholesome food to attract children to schools, retain them and then focus on children’s holistic development. The ultimate goal is to ensure that no child in India is hungry and every child gets access to good health, wholesome food, and schooling.
Annamrita is now the second largest Mid Day Meal provider in India and serves over 1.2 million Mid-Day Meals daily to school-going children from its fully automated centralized kitchens spread across 21 locations in 8 states, Maharashtra, Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, West Bengal & Tripura. We adhere to ISO 22000:2018 food safety standards. This program has reaped particular benefits in the sector of ‘girl-child education in the country. Moreover, by serving a common meal to all and that too on a common platform, the program has been instrumental in helping children unite and rise above culture and caste differences.
At Annamrita, we take utmost care to serve only the highest-quality and most wholesome foods to all our beneficiaries. Prepared in centralized hi-tech, ISO-certified kitchens, each meal is carefully administered under an FSMS – Food Safety Management System.
