Which organization supports meal distribution under the PM POSHAN (Mid-Day Meal) scheme in some areas?
Akshaya Patra Foundation
Akshaya Patra Foundation is correct.
PM POSHAN (Pradhan Mantri Poshan Shakti Nirman), formerly the Mid-Day Meal Scheme, provides a free cooked meal to children in government and government-aided schools. In many states the cooking and delivery of these meals is done through NGOs working with state governments.
The Akshaya Patra Foundation, founded in Bengaluru in 2000, was, as of 2025, the largest such partner, running centralised kitchens that serve meals to lakhs of children every school day in several states.
UNICEF and WHO are UN agencies that advise on child nutrition and health but do not distribute meals, and NITI Aayog is a policy think tank, not an implementing agency.
