When the Government of India launched a strategic program in 1994 called the Midday Meal Scheme to fight two of the most pressing problems of India – hunger and illiteracy, ISKCON Food Relief Foundation saw a great opportunity for providing children with the right nutrition to support their education. The Midday Meal Project is being implemented by ISKCON Food Relief Foundation under the name of ‘annamrita’ meaning food as pure as nectar.
The first thing that comes to mind, when you think of nutritious food, is what a mother serves her child, and that’s what annamrita stands for.
We strive to serve food to children, with the same love and devotion that otherwise their mother would have provided. Imbued with a spiritual ambiance in our hi-tech kitchens, the khichdi prepared satisfies and nourishes, not just on the physical level but also on a spiritual level. The only meal that is truly satiating is the one that feeds the stomach, mind, and soul alike.
