THE FESTIVAL OF HARVEST AND NEW BEGINNINGS HAS ARRIVED! 

Makar Sankranti marks the period when long and cold winter ends and spring—the season of revival begins. It is the season when people across India honour the Sun God, whose energy enables all life on Earth. 

It is celebrated at different locations by different names such as:

  • Poush Sankranti (West Bengal)
  • Thai Pongal (Tamil Nadu)
  • Makar Vilakku (Kerala)
  • Magh Bihu (Assam)
  • Vasi Uttarayan (Gujarat)
  • Lohri (Punjab)
  • Bhogi (Andhra Pradesh)
  • Makar Sankranti (Karnataka)

Though the festival has many names, the emotions of happiness, hope and positivity are mutual among everyone.

CELEBRATE THIS FESTIVAL WITH CHILDREN

Millions of children in India start their new year in doubt whether they will receive meals that year. 

Let’s help them start 2025 with the confidence of receiving mid-day meals on all days of the year!

HOW? SUPPORT THEIR MID-DAY MEALS WITH AKSHAYA PATRA

Akshaya Patra has been serving mid-day meals supporting the Central Government’s PM POSHAN Abhiyaan in government school for 24 years. Today, it feeds 2.25 million children in over 23,000 schools daily, incentivising the children to attend classes regularly.

THIS MAKAR SANKRANTI, GIFT A HAPPIER CHILDHOOD TO GOVERNMENT SCHOOL CHILDREN FOR A YEAR.
