Vasudev Adiga’s, a popular chain of
restaurants in Karnataka, initiated the
+1 campaign a month ago in order to
raise funds to feed children of
government schools. As a part of the
same campaign, Vasudev Adiga’s
recently donated a cheque of Rs 18.25
lakhs to The Akshaya Patra
Foundation. The cheque was handed to
Mr. Shridhar Venkat, Executive
Director, The Akshaya Patra
Foundation by Dr. Abhay Shet, a
pediatrician and a customer of Vasudev
Adiga’s at the Government High
School, Jayanagar, 9th
Block in
Bangalore. The amount was made
possible by Rs. 1 donations by the
numerous customers of Vasudev
Adiga’s as part of its +1 campaign.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Abhay
Shet, said, “Vasudev Adiga’s +1
campaign is an excellent initiative. It
shows how we can make a difference
when ordinary citizens come together
for a cause. A rupee donated by many
people like us ensures a million
children get nutritious mid-day
meal.” He also addressed the children
on the significance of the mid-day meal
and eating nutritious meal.
Mr. Jacob Kurian, Managing Director,
Vasudev Adiga's; Mr. Shridhar Venkat,
Executive Director, Akshaya Patra and
Mr. Vinay N Kumar, General Manager
– Operations, Akshaya Patra, were
present on this occasion. The
dignitaries served mid-day meal to the
school children as a symbolic gesture.
The Akshaya Patra Foundation a
secular non-profit organization is in a
public private partnership with the
Indian government, which
implements the world’s largest NGO
managed mid-day meal programme.

million children on all school
working days and the Foundation’s
work has created a very wide ranging
social impact among the children of
