as a tribute to her indomitable spirit

Adamya Chetana was started in 1997in the fond memory of

Adamya Chetana's philosophy resonates with

Swami Vivekananda'svision

“each soul is potentially divine"

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

mammoth form and has benefited lakhs of children

across thousands of schools.

Ananth Kumar's global outlook and vast exposure,

coupled with Tejaswini's eye for details and

meticulous planning and execution has made Adamya Chetana

a social movement that is unique in the country.

The projects of Adamya Chetana have enhanced the Nourishment, Learning and Healthof thousands of under privileged children.

As an NGO, Adamya Chetana feeds

over 2,00,000 under-privileged, needy

school children with Government

support. The hot nutritious midday meal

is cooked at Bengaluru, Hubli, Gulbarga

and Jodhpur in Rajasthan. 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.

Adamya chetana cooks for

2 lakh children daily, which has

created economies of scale. Voluntary

participation has further reduced the

costs to around Rs. 2.15 per meal

excluding cost of rice. This includes

cost of oil, vegetables, dal, spices, fuel,

transportation, cooking and other

processing costs. The government

provides rice and Rs. 1.81 per child

towards conversion charges.

Other activities of Adamya Chetana

include a unique mobile resource

facility "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 colorful monthly wall magazine brings colour to the otherwise drab

walls of Government schools. This wall magazine reaches 23,000 schools

of Karnataka with the support of Sarva Shikshana Abhiyan Misson.

Arogya Chetana, a program focused on providing health cover to the school children was inaugurated by

Dr. APJ Abdul Kalambenefiting thousands of school children, providing them hospitalization
