PM today praised the efforts of an NGO towards eradicating hunger from the country.
"The prime minister will serve food to about 20 schoolchildren from an underprivileged background in the campus, marking the three billionth meal offered by Akshaya Patra," Naveena Neerada Dasa, the head of strategic communications in ISKCON, said.
Funded by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), Akshaya Patra is a not-for-profit organization that works with the government on mid-day meal schemes.
