BHEL Partners with Akshaya Patra Provides Five Meal Delivery Vehicles as part of CSR Initiatives

As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has provided five meal distribution vehicles to the Akshaya Patra Foundation, Guwahati aimed at fulfilling their shared vision of creating a brighter future for deserving children. Mr. B. Prasada Rao, Chairman & Managing Director, BHEL flagged off the vehicles at a ceremony held at Akshaya Patra's kitchen in Amingaon, Guwahati. On the occasion, Mr. Rao said that BHEL is committed to the noble cause that Akshaya Patra has been working towards. Through this support, we hope to lend a helping hand to an organization that satisfies a child's basic need of a filling meal. The custom-designed vehicles will be used to distribute mid-day meals to children in government schools across Kamrup District. Akshaya Patra is currently feeding more than 1.5 million school children every day in 20 locations in 9 states across the country. The meal delivery vehicles will help transport hot, nutritious meals from their centralized kitchens to about 10,000 children every day. These meals give the children an incentive to go to school and stay in school, besides providing them with the necessary nutrients they need to develop their cognitive abilities to focus on learning. ref: http://www.4-traders.com/BHARAT-HEAVY-ELECTRICALS-9743934/news/Bharat-Heavy-Electricals-Limited-BHEL-Partners-with-Akshaya-Patra-Provides-Five-Meal-Delivery-Vehi-15975910/
