Young aspiring entrepreneurs participating in Jagriti Yatra inspired by Akshaya Patra Foundation in Gambheeram, Visakhapatnam

The Akshaya Patra Foundation in Gambheeram, on the outskirts of Visakhapatnam, was visited by hundreds of young, aspiring entrepreneurs, including those from G20 nations, who arrived in the city on Thursday as part of their nationwide industrial study trip known as Jagriti Yatra.

The president of the Akshaya Patra Foundation for the States of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Satya Garura Chandra Dasa, gave an overview of the organization's 23-year history. After seeing the foundation's kitchen, the yatra participants spoke with Sri Satya Gaura Chandra Dasa Swami.

Ashutosh Kumar, CEO of the Jagriti Yatra Foundation, Archana, Mumbai-based Jagrithi Yatra coordinator, and Niskinchana Bhaktha Dasa, head of the organization's city chapter, took part as guests.

An NGO called the Jagriti Yatra Foundation encourages and empowers young people from India's small towns and villages to "build India through enterprise." This project, which was its flagship initiative, was an 8,000-kilometer, 15-day statewide travel that brought chosen young entrepreneurs face-to-face with outstanding social and commercial entrepreneurs who are creating original solutions to India's developmental concerns.

The largest school food initiative in the world is managed by the Akshaya Patra Kitchen. Over a million students in 13,529 schools in 12 Indian States anxiously anticipate the delivery of their noon meal every school day. Every day, 20,000 people in Gambheeram get food preparation and distribution from their ISO-certified centralised semi-automated kitchen.
