Mr. Angshu Mallick, MD & CEO of Adani Wilmar with Sri Raya Rama Dasa, Vice President of The Akshaya Patra Foundation
Adani Wilmar Limited (AWL), one of India’s largest food and FMCG companies, aims to touch the lives of every Indian, enabling them to live life fully and making the country stronger, healthier, and more productive. This mission began with Fortune SuPoshan, a flagship CSR project, addressing malnutrition and anemia. In a bid to extent the mission further, the company has collaborated with the Akshaya Patra Foundation to support its Mid-Day Meal Program to provide nutritious meals to underprivileged school children in Ahmedabad.
As part of this collaboration, six new delivery vans have been introduced to ensure the seamless distribution of nutritious meals to schoolchildren. The flag-off ceremony for these vans took place in Ahmedabad, attended by key representatives from Adani Wilmar and The Akshaya Patra Foundation. This initiative reinforces the commitment shown by the FMCG company to improve food accessibility and fostering a healthier future for children across the country.
Commenting on this initiative, Mr. Angshu Mallick, MD & CEO of Adani Wilmar, said, “We are proud to deepen our collaboration with The Akshaya Patra Foundation in their mission to combat child hunger through the Mid-Day Meal Program. At Adani Wilmar, we believe that proper nutrition is fundamental to education and a brighter future. These delivery vans will ensure that meals reach children seamlessly, reinforcing our commitment to nourishing young minds and supporting their growth.”
The Akshaya Patra Foundation, headquartered in Bengaluru, operates the Mid-Day Meal Program across 24,000 government and government-aided schools in 16 states and two union territories, serving over 2.1 million children daily.
Sri Raya Rama Dasa, Vice President of The Akshaya Patra Foundation, Gujarat, expressed gratitude for the partnership, stating, “We are incredibly thankful to Adani Wilmar for their unwavering support in ensuring seamless distribution of meals to children. These vans are crucial in helping us reach more children efficiently, strengthening our shared vision of eradicating classroom hunger.”
Last year, Adani Wilmar further strengthened this commitment by donating three vans and providing meals for 2,000 children for one year.
Adani Wilmar has been actively involved in social impact initiatives through its CSR projects, particularly Fortune SuPoshan. This continued partnership with The Akshaya Patra Foundation aligns with the company’s broader vision of creating a healthier, well-nourished, and educated generation.
