Our Governance Philosophy is based on a set of laws, rules and regulations and good practices that enables the organisation to perform efficiently and ethically and create value for all its stakeholders.

The organisation is committed to the belief that the adoption of the best governance practices will take us a long way ahead.

The roots of our value system and governance practices reflect the culture of the trusteeship. The core philosophy rests on 4 basic tenets:

• Board accountability to the organisation and stakeholders

• Equitable treatment to all stakeholders

• Strategic guidance and effective monitoring by the Board

• Transparency and timely disclosure

Following the philosophy and adoption of the best governance practices, Akshaya Patra continuously strives for excellence.

A successful Public – Private Partnership

The Akshaya Patra Foundation works in partnership with the Central Government and various State Governments in conducting its programme. To help us run the Mid-Day Meal Scheme successfully, the governments support us with grain and cash subsidies. We receive generous support from corporate houses and individual donors as well.
