With Anna – Akshara – Aarogya as core themes,

Adamya Chetana has enhanced Nourishment,

Learning and Health

of thousands of underprivileged children

What started off as a small effort, has today taken a

mammoth form and has benefited lakhs of children

across thousands of schools

Our Chief Patron Shri AnanthKumar's visionary leadership and direction coupled with our chairperson, Dr. Tejaswini's unlimited energy, eye for details, meticulous planning and

execution has made

Adamya Chetana

a social movement that is unique in the country

As a not-for-profit organisation, Adamya

Chetana feeds over 2 lakh under-privileged,

needy school children with Government

support. The hot nutritious midday meals are

hygienically prepared at well equipped

kitchens in Bengaluru, Hubballi-Dharwad,

Kalaburgi, Ranebennur and Jodhpur.

With an innovative and path breaking approach,

Adamya Chetana's Midday meal program has

become a role model for other Midday meal

providers across the country. This has been

appreciated gratefully by thousands of parents,

children, teachers & the public at large.

We collect feedback from

each of the schools

everyday, analyse & take

corrective & preventive

actions.

others. We offer internships to others who are

keen to implement best practices.

Project: “Aata Paatha" (play – learn)

The uniqueness of this program is that

a mobile unit, fitted with educational

gadgets like computers, sports

equipments, costumes for drama,

teaching aids, books, drawing & paint

material, audio visual equipments, etc.,

visits different schools situated in

slums of Bengaluru making teaching-

learning a fun experience

Adamya Chetana as a torchbearer has created a number of unique

interventions that are replicable and first of its kind in the country. One such

step is "Chinnara Chetana" - the Wall magazine of Adamya Chetana.

This colourful monthly wall magazine brings colour to the otherwise drab

walls of Government schools.

Arogya Chetana, a program focused on providing health cover to the

school children was inaugurated by

Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam

benefiting thousands of school children, providing them hospitalization

cover at practically zero cost. This program has a potential to cover

millions of school children across the length and breadth of India.
