Under the community child support policy to solve classroom hunger which affects children’s ability to learn and grow, MAHE adopted local primary schools to equip them with various resources, which eventually helped schools to serve nutritious, healthy meals to the underprivileged.
To address childhood malnutrition, MAHE provides midday meals to more than 200 underprivileged students from different elementary schools in the locality. As a part of Daan Utsav celebrated by the MAHE Voluntary Service Organization (VSO), a community outreach organization across MAHE colleges, conducted Annadaan on 1st October 2021 at Kadiyali School, Kadiyali, Udupi.
Daan Utsav: Festival of Giving, Annadhan, aimed at providing nutritious food to underprivileged children as a concept of “Zero Hunger” set by Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), UN.
