Mr Shridhar Venkat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We all have experienced hunger and know how to fend the same. Worriless. Contrastively, there are thousands of children who sleep hungry. And education for them remains a distant dream. We take hunger (and satiating it ) for \u2018granted\u2019. The synergy between \u00a0food and education is no revelation but a thought provoking connect.Can one focus on learning without food ? Surprising.. \u00a0discussing \u00a0something as elemental as food and hunger. \u00a0But elemental is essential. It was Mr.Shridhar Venkat, CEO- Akshay Patra talking to the new batch at Welingkar, Bengaluru during the foundation fortnight- Neev 2016.<\/p>\n

Venkat averred, \u2018Food is the incentive for education\u2019. Parents whose children attend the \u2018Mid \u2013Day\u2019 meal scheme of Akshya Patra, usually earn Rs.6000 per month and the average size of the family is 6. \u00a0 Also, each day \u2013 3000 children die of hunger because of poor diet. Around 30.7% of children under age 5 are underweight and 1 in 4 children is malnourished. He further stated that India is home to 40% of worlds malnourished children. Hunger affects and hampers the education set up in the country and about 8.1 million children are out of schools. A sorry state of affairs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Mr Shridhar Venkat with Dr Anil Rao <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Citing an example of a student \u2013 Darshan, \u00a0son of a security guard whose income was Rs.1500\/- month, how \u2018Education\u2019 play a pivotal role in \u00a0liberating the family from the clutches of poverty. \u00a0Darshan’s \u00a0poor report card \u00a0changed markedly, when his Government School \u2013 started receiving the \u2018Midday \u2013 Meal\u2019. \u00a0Darshan attention span expanded and \u00a0its impact on studies was substantial and his academic performance increased each year and in 10th grade he received 92 percent and later on entered the field of IT and secured a good position and income that secured his family future.\u00a0The mid- day meal scheme is a great \u00a0incentive. In some parts of the country it has helped increase \u00a0the number of girls in the classroom.<\/p>\n

Venkat mentioned how his team at Akshay Patra reached 1.5 million children in \u00a011,000 schools in 10 states in the country across 24 locations. \u00a0In Bangalore, 100,000 children in Government schools have access to mid \u2013meals. The joy and happiness on \u00a0a child’s \u00a0face after \u00a0the meal gives him immense delight and satisfaction. Referring to the need of a customized menu for children in south and north India he said research revealed the children have different palette and hence it was important to design menu accordingly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The questioning minds <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

During the Q&A session, when a student questioned whether the poverty is man made or natural? Venkat, replied that poverty is man made due to indifference, callous attitude and greed of people. According to him, if the developed countries \u00a0save \u00a010% of their consumption, it can feed one-third of the world.He further advocated that to change the world \u2013 it is important to be compassionate citizen to ensure that no one is hungry.<\/p>\n

Explaining \u00a0his switch over to the \u00a0social sector \u00a0he said, \u2018 I am ambitious\u2019 However, one should have existential purpose in life\u2019. \u00a0Money and power is important, but we should do something for our motherland. The success of mid meal is also attributed to decline in crime rates in the areas where the Mid-Day meal is served.Lastly, in closing remarks he said behavior of parents is of utmost importance when concerned \u2018Wastage of Food\u2019, If parents waste food, then child will too waste Food\u2019.<\/p>\n

The audience \u2013faculty and students were deeply impressed with the lasting thoughts on \u2018Food\u2019 and how we can contribute to the progress of our country. As of judicious use of resources he said we must not waste food. Each grain and a drop of water matters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Mr VSS Sastry <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Next was a session with Mr. VSS Sastry – \u00a0Maths Communicator, Origamian and Kirigami expert. \u00a0He told the audience that \u2018Origami\u2019 is a Japanese word and the art involves use of paper and math to create an art. He showed the audience different types of origami art \u2013 which fascinated the class. Origami has been used by NASA in its Satellite expedition and also used in medical sciences \u2013 \u2018Heart Stent\u2019 in surgery.<\/p>\n

Sastry also pointed out the phobia tagged with the subject and said there was a need to bring about a change in how the subject is taught in the classroom. \u00a0Highlighting the need of research in the subject, he brought in the great mathematician \u00a0S Ramanujan whose contribution to the subject is profound. Scholars world wide have been studying theorems developed by him.\u00a0Math is adventure and there is a pattern and generalization in the subject as Sastry \u00a0sees it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
One of the displayed cartoons <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Also the session had an exhibition of cartoons on the subject of Maths – enthralled the young audience. \u00a0The cartoons depicted the all pervasive nature of the subject. It may be a housewife or a swimmer each one of us, uses it . Each frame amplified the vastness of the subject.Towards end of the session the students had a session \u00a0on origami, wherein they picked up origami laced with principles of Maths.<\/p>\n

And the last leg of the day had a \u00a0business-quiz \u00a0by Prof.Dr. Jai Raj .And the batch seemed to have enjoyed it to the hilt as was evident by the upbeat mood.<\/p>\n
