Sarada Noon Meals Scheme

Sarada Noon Meal
(Annadanam for Students)

The Government of Tamil Nadu has been kind enough to provide noon meals for all the school children. But quite a number of college and post-matric students coming from interior villages living below the poverty line are deprived of this benefit. Hence they either drop out from the higher education institutions are extremely weak to concentrate on their studies. Hence we had initiated ‘Sarada Noon Meals Scheme’ in the year 2015-16 to provide free noon meals to selected poor students, whose parents annual income less Rs. 2 lakh from our 3 colleges (College of Arts and Science, College of Education and Maruthi College of Physical Education), 3 Post-Matric Institutions (Polytechnic, Industrial Training Institute and Diploma in Agricultural Education) and 4 faculties of the Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Educational and Research Institute – all situated in a single campus. Nearly 400 such students in these 8 institutions were benefited by this noon meal scheme every year.

Our Initiative:

We have carefully selected 400 deserving students who will benefit from the Free Mid-Day Meals scheme. Each meal costs $105 (Rs.8750) per student annually, and the total annual cost for this program is $41730. (Rs.35,00,000) This initiative is designed not only to nourish our students physically but also to support their academic growth and overall well-being.

How You Can Help:

We are reaching out to compassionate individuals and organizations who share our commitment to education and social upliftment. Your financial support can make a profound difference in the lives of these students.

Donation Options: You can contribute any amount that suits your capacity. Donations can be made through [provide payment methods such as bank transfer, online donation portal, etc.].

Sponsorship: You can also choose to sponsor a specific number of students. For instance, sponsoring one student for the entire year will require a donation of $105.

Impact of Your Support:

By supporting this program, you are helping to eliminate one of the significant barriers to education hunger. Your contribution will ensure that these students have the necessary nourishment to focus on their studies and achieve their academic goals.
