      "body": "When somebody says the words ‘School Days,’ what does it remind us of? The noise in the classroom, the constant chattering of classmates when the teacher is teaching, running around in the school premises and the hunger pangs with which we would open our tiffin boxes packed by our mothers with much love and care. Those were our days that we will reminisce for the rest of our lives. \n\n![Donate mid-day meals & save tax.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQKQYGTPo5hQtZb29GMDvFKAVEyFjtfPieeNsFQ9HL99u/Donate%20mid-day%20meals%20&%20save%20tax.jpg)\n\nNow let us imagine that we are in a similar scenario where everything is just the same as above, except that we do not have tiffin boxes. You are very tired and all the running around, has exhausted you. The bell rings and you get back to your classroom, the teacher enters and starts teaching her subject. Do you think you would be able to concentrate and focus on what is being taught? No! Because all you would be thinking about is, food! \n\n### Back to reality…\n\nUnlike us, who had the privilege of satiating hunger by opening carefully packed lunch boxes, there are millions of children who experience hunger pangs every single day but make do with it, by controlling their hunger and ultimately stop coming to school one day. Because to quieten the hunger, they need food; and the only way is to earn for it! \nHeeding to such grim situations, many people step up to form a community or an NGO and work towards various causes of children like hunger, health-aid, education, etc. The [role of an NGO](https://www.akshayapatra.org/role-of-ngos) is to uplift, to make children’s lives better and to make the world a happy place for all to live in. \n\nIf you feel moved by this story, you have ignited the fire of humanity in yourself that you will be more than willing to sponsor a child’s school lunch. Imagine what you could do for those children! You could make a world of a difference in their lives. \n\n### Be the reason for change\n\nDid you ever think that you can possibly be a reason for bringing several positive changes in the lives of children just by providing school meals? Your support can help children in need by:\n\n1. Improving their nutrition levels\n2. Increasing the rate of school enrolment since a school lunch can act as a catalyst bringing back children to school every day\n3. Increasing their attention span and focus better in classrooms\n4. Ensuring proper cognitive and physical development with healthy and nutritious lunch\n5. Helping reduction in school drop-out rate\n\nWondering where to begin? Read on further.\n\n### What is The Akshaya Patra Foundation?\n\nThe Akshaya Patra Foundation is registered as a not-for-profit organisation under the Indian Trusts Act, 1882. It feeds healthy school lunch to 18,02,517 children across India by implementing the Mid Day Meal Scheme. Locally palatable meals are served across 16,856 schools present in 12 States and 2 Union Territories of India. Healthy and wholesome meals are served keeping in mind the nutritional requirement of children. The menu is carefully selected keeping in mind the nutritional value of the meals and is served in a cyclical manner to break the monotony of consuming the same type of meals every single day. \n\nIn order to make similar memories for children when the word ‘School days’ pops in your mind, you can work hand-in-hand with Akshaya Patra and donate towards the cause of ‘Food for education’ of children. \n\nMake a healthy future for children of today!\n[Donate healthy meals & gain tax benefits!](https://www.akshayapatra.org/tax-exemption-donation-faqs)\n\nIn order to share your memories of meals during your school days, please leave a comment below. Alternatively, you can share this post on social media by clicking on the icons. \n\n#### Author Profile:  \n\nThe Akshaya Patra Foundation is an Indian charitable trust implementing the Mid-Day Meal Scheme. Currently, the NGO provides school lunch to over 1.8 million+ children studying in more than 16,000 schools across 12 States and 2 Union Territories of India. By donating to Akshaya Patra you can ensure the daily school lunch of millions of children and prepare them for the exam hour.",

Most of us at some point in our lives, would have considered to do our bit of the society by giving to a charity, an old age home or any other NGO in India. It is a commendable thing to make a donation for a cause and honestly work with a positive thought that our act of charity will make a difference in other’s lives. Some people do it out of generosity and some people do it to add goodwill in their lives. \n\nIn order to encourage charitable contributions to improve the condition of people hailing from challenging socio-economic backgrounds, the Indian Government has made deductions available for donors under section 80G of Income-tax Act, 1961, who donate towards registered charitable organizations.

      "body": "Almost every student is anxious before exams, irrespective of their age. The very name of ‘Exam’ paints a movie-like-scene from our childhood. Late night revisions, alarm waking us up from deep sleep, parents pushing us from the bed to wake us up, early morning hunger pangs, hot tea to stay awake – all these scenes stream in our minds giving rise to goose bumps as a result of nostalgia. \n\n![Nutritious food served on the plates of school children.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZoGPkkLJwXn8sMy5B8DpboYdoszZfmVfs5965LXKhZ2T/Nutritious%20food%20served%20on%20the%20plates%20of%20school%20children.jpg)\n\n## Back to childhood days\n\nMany such scenes remind us of our childhood days. There were numerous chapters to study and revise. And just when we thought we can switch to another subject or chapter, there would be a huge sound from our stomachs. That would be our time of realisation that we need to fuel our tummies with food for education and recollection of answers. This food would help us stay up longer and stay awake at the same time. Remember how our parents would feed us sweet curds before we left to give our exams? Thank God that our parents would know about our hunger and would serve us hot food too!\n\nWe were fortunate that we got the right nutrients at the right time. These helped us in our health and education, but there are many children who do not get the right nutrients in the food that they consume. Further, there are children who come from economically challenging backgrounds, where their parents cannot provide even one healthy square meal a day. \n \n\nThe Akshaya Patra Foundation is a non-profit organization that has worked relentlessly for the past 19 years towards providing mid-day meals to school children who belong to socio-economically challenging backgrounds. It works towards the mission that ‘No child shall be deprived of education because of hunger’. On an everyday basis, it serves wholesome and nutritious food to 18,02,517 children studying in 16,856 schools spread across 12 States and 2 Union Territories of India. \n\nHow does Akshaya Patra help during the exam hour?\nThe Akshaya Patra Foundation serves mid-day meals to school children that are wholesome and high in nutritional content. Each of the  51 locations serves local cuisine that is enjoyed by the children. This means say that food and cuisine served in Karnataka is different from Rajasthan and Delhi or the food served in Gujarat is different from the menu served in Andhra Pradesh or Odisha. No matter, which state food is served in, the ingredients used in preparing meals will help in overall development of children because it is all nutrient-rich. \n\n### Which ingredients are used in the mid-day meals that enhance exam performance?\n\n#### WHOLE WHEAT\nWhole wheat used in the rotis act as an energy booster and helps in studying for longer hours. \n\n#### LEGUMES\nLegumes such as beans and lentils like dal are packed with enormous amounts of proteins, vitamins and minerals.\n\n#### GREEN LEAVES\nGreen Leaves are the best source of iron, calcium and protein. Spinach, is the best source of folic acid which helps prevent memory loss.\n\n#### VEGETABLES\nCruciferous vegetables like Cauliflower, cabbage and broccoli help in increasing the retention power. Red onions help in important bran functions like memory and focus.\n\n#### FRESH FRUITS\nFruits are a natural source of fibre and sugar. Applies help in improving academic performance and studying performance, bananas keep children from feeling hungry quickly and help in avoiding distractions. Whereas, oranges provide immunity against common cold due to its high Vitamin C content.\n\nAll the meals that are served to school children across India are packed with the right amount of nutrition required for the growth of children. \n\nHow can you support Akshaya Patra in its efforts to feed healthy food to school children?\nAkshaya Patra aims to feed more children every year. It will definitely be fruitful if there are more people helping towards providing mid-day meals to school children. You can donate online for providing children with school meals. Donate ₹3300 to feed 3 children for one whole school year so that they perform well in their exams. As an added advantage, you also get tax benefits as The Akshaya Patra Foundation is registered under Section 12A (a) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. \n\nWhen you feed wholesome meals to children, they will be able to concentrate better in their class and perform better in their exams. This will ultimately help them achieve their dreams! Don’t you want to be the reason to transform their lives?\n\n#### Your kindness & generosity can improve lives!\n#### Sponsor meals & Gain tax benefits.\n\nAuthor Profile:  \n\nThe Akshaya Patra Foundation is an Indian charitable trust implementing the Mid-Day Meal Scheme. Currently, the NGO provides school lunch to over 1.8 million+ children studying in more than 16,000 schools across 12 States and 2 Union Territories of India. By donating to Akshaya Patra you can ensure the daily school lunch of millions of children and prepare them for the exam hour.",

Happiness is prevalent in every nook and corner of the city we live in – lights glowing in every street, neon signs flashing in front of every shop, people wishing ‘Happy New Year’ to passersby; everything seems so full of energy. This is the scene of people like you and me, who are very fortunate to have every happiness in this world. \n\n![help a child go back to school with ₹1100.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZ2Nt1F8fcFymgyDoCrUEQk8TbzdxYQ6QaTbovo8VmQ3C/help%20a%20child%20go%20back%20to%20school%20with%20%E2%82%B91100.jpg)\n\nLet us now switch to a scene of New Year 2020 in Mahesh’s life. Mahesh is a student of VII standard studying in a Government school of Telangana. Buying new clothes or eating out with family in a fancy restaurant is only his desire. Eating even two meals a day is a celebration for children like him who need support through online donations. \nLet this 2020 be a year of giving. All children have the right to live their dreams. Doing some reverse calculations makes us realize that their dreams are linked to a base - being healthy. And they can only be healthy when they eat the right food that provides them with adequate nutrition. Getting the right type of nourishment with financial situations as dire as Mahesh’s is one humungous task. \n\nThis New Year 2020, let’s make it a promise to encourage many little dreams. Wondering how you can do so? Honestly, it is not a very difficult job. \n\nIt could be something as simple as supporting school meals of children. For example, to feed school going children with healthy and nutritious meals, you can choose to donate to The Akshaya Patra Foundation. You can be a volunteer, a knowledge partner or a donor. You can feed children instantly by making online donations. If you want to be an active part and volunteer, you can get to know more about it here. \n\nAkshaya Patra is an NGO in India, registered under Section 80G, that works towards children’s cause and believes that no child should be deprived of education due to hunger. Every day, it feeds 1.8 million+ children with mid-day meals across 51 locations of Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Chattisgarh, Daman & DNH, Delhi, Gujarat, Karnataka, Odisha, Rajasthan, Maharashtar, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Tripura and Uttar Pradesh. Be a part of Akshaya Patra and change million lives by doing your bit. Making a donation will instantly give you a donation receipt and tax exemption certificate. \n\nWhen you decide to donate ₹1100, [ you sponsor a child’s meal for a whole year!](https://www.akshayapatra.org/onlinedonations) That means you will be providing 232 meals to a child every day s/he goes to school. Isn’t it satisfying to know that it is because of you that one child will go to school to eat healthy meals? When they eat the right food daily, they will be able to perform and concentrate better in class. And who should we thank for making this possible? YOU!\n\nMake someone else’s NEW YEAR 2020 a HEALTHY ONE!\nDONATE to make a child’s year a great one!",

      "body": "Christmas is the season of joy, love, celebration, gifts, and charity. As young children, do you remember the excitement that you experienced as Christmas approached? Our homes and outdoors would be all decorated in green, red, and white. One of the next-door neighbours would play act as Santa Claus and drop gifts at our doors. And, we always wondered, who the Santa could be!\n\nAs small kids, our parents and adults in the family or neighbourhood would be our Secret Santa. As we grew up, our friends became our Santa and when we started working, our friends were replaced by colleagues during Secret Santa games. The whole idea of following this tradition is to keep the festive spirit alive in us. It reminds us of the basic lesson - when we are happy, we radiate happiness to everyone around us; and joy just keeps growing bigger and better! \n\n![christmas children.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPaQG8eYvBYF7zNodXxqx9HAx5N1MFCjzTWhFcezbSN8E/christmas%20children.JPG)\n\nGiven the constant struggle to move up ladders and change roles in our lives, we forget to expand the circle and reach out to people who are in dire need. Spreading joy and happiness to them through charity is one of the most thoughtful form of celebration. Even though many people have the will to do something for others, their regular schedules make it difficult for them to do so. This is one reason why there are many NGOs in India and around the world that provides a platform to us for extending help to the society by contributing funds.\n\nSupport NGOs and help towards social causes; all your support is needed to make this world a better place to live in. Many NGOs work towards many causes – charity for old age homes, charity towards poor children, donation towards school mid-day meals, etc. Choose the cause that is close to your heart and show that you care. \n\nFor instance, you can choose to donate to children on special occasions like Christmas. Along with reliving your childhood memories, you can also play an important role in changing lives of children around you. The Akshaya Patra Foundation is one of the NGOs in India through whom you can change lives of children with nutritious school meals. This NGO has been working relentlessly towards its goals since the last 19 years. On a daily basis, it feeds 1.8 million+ children across 12 States and 2 Union Territories across India. It implements Mid-Day Meal Programme in 16,856 Government and Government-aided schools. It provides freshly cooked, nutritious meals to children on all school days. \nIt is Christmas! It is the season of giving. Spread the spirit of this season among children who are a little less fortunate than you in terms of resources but have the equal zeal to achieve big in life. You can be the reason to bring a smile on their faces and fulfil their dreams. Join hands with Akshaya Patra and spread the warmth of this festive season. This year, let children enjoy hot & tasty wholesome food in schools with “Jingle Bells! Jingle Bells! Jingle all the way…..” at the backdrop!! \n\n## BE THE SANTA FOR A CHILD BY FEEDING THEM SCHOOL MEALS WITH Rs.1100!\n\n## LET IT BE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!\n\n### Author Profile: \n\nThe Akshaya Patra Foundation is an Indian NGO implementing the Mid-Day Meal Programme along with several child-centric initiatives. Your support to Akshaya Patra this Christmas Season can potentially improve lives of millions of children across India and also avail you tax exemption. Merry Christmas!",

      "body": "NGOs are organisations that focusses their efforts towards addressing several issues disturbing the balance and ecosystem of the society and the world at large. These organisations either work completely independent of government involvement or work in partnership with governments called as the public private partnership. However, in both the operational model, the core factor that drives NGOs is the willingness and determination to bring about a sustainable change in the society. NGOs work at local, national, and global levels thereby bringing changes right from the grassroot level. Be it an NGO in India or any other country, they require steadfast support from the community to progress in their respective goals. \n\n![Support NGO Transform Lives.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQHF554zTMNafj9nRiHgcn5nmJ8te8nYkbD9bCf2wPwoh/Support%20NGO%20Transform%20Lives.jpg)\n\n## Why should we support NGO?\nBefore we delve into the impact of our support to NGOs, let’s answer this first, ‘When there is a problem at our home, don’t we instantly jump in to offer help?’ Well, most of us will respond as ‘Yes’. So, when the society is struggling with some critical issue, shouldn’t we get involved to resolve it? Practically, yes. \nLet’s take an example: you are an educated individual and are taking care of your family in the best way you can. You have a secure job, a good place to live, resources to send your children to school, provide good food to the family, and the like. When your children grow up, they too will be resourceful like you. On the other hand, just a few metres away from your home, there is a colony of daily wage workers. Their socio-economic condition is totally opposite from that of yours. Do you think their children will be resourceful in the near future? Quite possibly, no. The irony is, children belonging to both sides of the society will soon have to shoulder responsibilities in the future. And, if we don’t step forward to support, the society and the world at large will remain clasped in the vicious cycle of poverty-hunger-illiteracy. If more than half the population in the country falls in the dependent category, then you can imagine the status of individual progress! So, more than anything, it is our responsibility to [support NGO](https://www.akshayapatra.org/role-of-ngos). \n\n## Donate to NGOs\nIndia is home to more than 3-lakh registered NGOs. These NGOs work for several causes related to health, education, children, rights, women, environment, and many more. When we support an [NGO in India](https://www.akshayapatra.org/), we directly get involved in transforming the country’s future by empowering citizens and uplifting the whole ecosystem of the nation. As an example, let’s look at the difference that supporters made in the journey of The Akshaya Patra Foundation, a 19-year old mid-day meal NGO in India. Established in 2000, this NGO provide free school meals to 1,500 children in 5 Government schools of Bengaluru. Eventually, the Foundation partnered with the Government and also mobilised community support. Today, Akshaya Patra is one of the finest examples of a public-private partnership and the Foundation’s progress over the years showcase its success:\n\n![table.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYs62FAYJRBMjDBUr93k1CRKLVPZC46aR3z3q7kZjruBZ/table.jpg)\n\nIf supporters and donors wouldn’t have come forward to donate to children, the above-mentioned progress wouldn’t have been a possibility. Akshaya Patra’s efforts of supporting education of children belonging to challenging socio-economic background by providing freshly cooked, nutritious, and locally palatable meals to school children on each school day is also in alignment with UN SDGs: Zero Hunger and Quality Education. \n\n### Your support matters\nSimilar to Akshaya Patra, there are many NGOs striving each day to make this world a better place to live. Your one moment of generosity to [donate to children NGO](https://www.akshayapatra.org/onlinedonations) like Akshaya Patra or any other NGO will potentially bring a desirable change now and in the future. Support NGO because your support matters! \n\n### Author Profile: \nThe Akshaya Patra Foundation is an Indian NGO implementing the Mid-Day Meal Programme along with several child-centric initiatives. Your support to Akshaya Patra can potentially improve lives of millions of children across India and also avail you tax exemption.",

      "body": "Most of the countries around the world has the set rule of paying taxes; however, the tax rules may differ. In India, income tax is levied on individuals and businesses that has an income above a certain limit. It is an annual process wherein individuals – salaried or self-employed and businesses have to contribute a certain amount from their income to the government. These funds are then utilised by the government for developmental and security purposes such as constructing hospitals, schools, welfare centres, roads, maintenance of defence forces and the like. Paying taxes on time is a fundamental duty of every citizen who fall in the taxable bracket but the amount varies depending upon our income level, age, and gender. However, there is also a tax deductions clause that reduces the taxable income of a person.\n\n![Support a charity to save tax in a noble way!.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWsqVyDYU7ZTVwAxe2Da2AhjtzL67uk4uhinyrURoiZ7m/Support%20a%20charity%20to%20save%20tax%20in%20a%20noble%20way!.png)\n\n## How can you avail tax deduction?\n\nFor the welfare of the citizens, the Government of India has made a provision wherein one can receive exemption from paying taxes based on certain investment criteria. Individuals investing on house rent, children education allowance, housing loan, medical insurance and the like can avail tax deductions on their taxable income. Additionally, people contributing funds towards a social cause can also avail tax benefits under Section 80G. In order to encourage people to support charitable activities and enhance the sense of giving back to the society, the Government has made the provision of tax exemption donation. As per this section of income tax, if a person donates to any registered non-governmental organisations (NGO) in India, then he can receive tax relief for the amount he contributed as donation. Based on the type of NGO and its cause, the donor can either get 100% or 50% exemption on the donated amount based on a pre-decided slab and criterions set by the Income Tax Act.\n\n## Are all contributions made to NGO eligible for 80G benefits?\n\nIt is important to verify about the non-governmental organisations (NGO) in India you are considering for your donation because not all NGOs can give you the benefits of Section 80G. Here are some of the mandatory criteria that an NGO needs to meet to make the provision of tax exemption donation available for their donors:\n\ni.\tThe NGO must be a registered non-profit organisation under the Indian Trusts Act;\nii.\tThe NGO must be registered under the Income Tax Act of India to receive donations from within the country, and it should also be registered under Foreign Contribution Act to accept donations from foreign countries;\niii.\tSince the percentage of tax deduction vary for different categories of NGOs, all NGOs should clearly communicate on the percentage of tax exemption the donor will be entitled to i.e. 50% or 100%;\niv.\tThe NGO must provide a receipt and a tax exemption donation certificate for the amount you have donated.\n\n## Choose the cause you want to support and save tax too!\n\nIt is totally a personal choice to select the cause you want to support; and reportedly, there are about 3.2 million registered non-governmental organisations (NGO) in India. For instance, if you are a pro-environmentalist, you can choose any of the environment-centric NGOs. Similarly, if you strongly identify with health and education of children, you can support child-centric NGOs such as The Akshaya Patra Foundation that provides free school meals to more than 1.8 million children on each school day across India. \n\nYour choice could be any, what’s significant is while saving tax you also become a part of the solution for several critical issues obstructing the progress of the society.\n\nDisclaimer: Each of the above-mentioned tax exemption plans/investments has its own terms and conditions. Hence, it is advised to understand the respective tax exemption clauses prior to making an investment or a claim. \n\n#### Author Profile: \n\nThe Akshaya Patra Foundation is an Indian NGO implementing the Mid-Day Meal Programme along with several child-centric initiatives. Your support to Akshaya Patra can potentially improve lives of millions of children across India and also avail you tax exemption.",
