The history of The Akshaya Patra Foundation began when Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder of the ISKCON, looked out of a window at Mayapur near Kolkata, and saw a group of children fighting with dogs over scraps of food. Deeply disturbed by the incident, he resolved to do something to ensure that no one within the ten-mile radius of the centre would go hungry. This direction to his followers inspired the birth of The Akshaya Patra Foundation. It is also the driving force behind all the milestones the foundation has achieved.
