Akshaya Patra opens first kitchen in Goa, honoring Parrikar

Panaji: Akshaya Patra opened its first kitchen in Goa on the death anniversary of former Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar. Chief Minister Pramod Sawant highlighted Parrikar's vision for providing quality meals to children. The kitchen's establishment comes after a decade-long effort, initiated by Parrikar's invitation in 2013-14. Akshaya Patra co-founder Chanchalapathi Dasa honored Parrikar's legacy during the inauguration. Akshaya Patra aims to ensure that hunger does not prevent children from receiving an education. The new kitchen will support this mission in Goa.
