Almost every student is anxious before exams, irrespective of their
age. The very name of ‘Exam’ paints a movie-like-scene from our childhood. Late
night revisions, alarm waking us up from deep sleep, parents pushing us from
the bed to wake us up, early morning hunger pangs, hot tea to stay awake – all these
scenes stream in our minds giving rise to goose bumps as a result of nostalgia.
Back to childhood
days
Many such scenes remind us of our childhood days. There were
numerous chapters to study and revise. And just when we thought we can switch
to another subject or chapter, there would be a huge sound from our stomachs.
That would be our time of realisation that we need to fuel our tummies with food for education and recollection of
answers. This food would help us stay up longer and stay awake at the same
time. Remember how our parents would feed us sweet curds before we left to give
our exams? Thank God that our parents would know about our hunger and would
serve us hot food too!
We were fortunate that we got the right nutrients at the right
time. These helped us in our health and education, but there are many children
who do not get the right nutrients in the food that they consume. Further,
there are children who come from economically challenging backgrounds, where
their parents cannot provide even one healthy square meal a day.
The Akshaya Patra Foundation is a non-profit organization that has
worked relentlessly for the past 19 years towards providing mid-day meals to school children who
belong to socio-economically challenging backgrounds. It works towards the
mission that ‘No child shall be deprived of education because of hunger’. On an
everyday basis, it serves wholesome and nutritious food to 18,02,517 children
studying in 16,856 schools spread across 12 States and 2 Union Territories of
India.
How does Akshaya
Patra help during the exam hour?
The Akshaya Patra Foundation serves mid-day meals to school
children that are wholesome and high in nutritional content. Each of the 51 locations serves local cuisine that is
enjoyed by the children. This means say that food and cuisine served in
Karnataka is different from Rajasthan and Delhi or the food served in Gujarat
is different from the menu served in Andhra Pradesh or Odisha. No matter, which
state food is served in, the ingredients used in preparing meals will help in
overall development of children because it is all nutrient-rich.
Which ingredients
are used in the mid-day meals that enhance exam performance?
WHOLE WHEAT
Whole wheat used in the rotis act as an energy booster and helps
in studying for longer hours.
LEGUMES
Legumes such as beans and lentils like dal are packed with
enormous amounts of proteins, vitamins and minerals.
GREEN LEAVES
Green Leaves are the best source of iron, calcium and protein. Spinach,
is the best source of folic acid which helps prevent memory loss.
VEGETABLES
Cruciferous vegetables like Cauliflower, cabbage and broccoli help
in increasing the retention power. Red onions help in important bran functions
like memory and focus.
FRESH FRUITS
Fruits are a natural source of fibre and sugar. Applies help in
improving academic performance and studying performance, bananas keep children
from feeling hungry quickly and help in avoiding distractions. Whereas, oranges
provide immunity against common cold due to its high Vitamin C content.
All the meals that are served to school children across India are
packed with the right amount of nutrition required for the growth of children.
