Q. Which NGO has bagged the IMC Ram Krishna Bajaj National Quota award in the NGO category?
Answer: Annamrita
Notes: The International Society for Krishna Consciousness's (ISKCON) food relief foundation 'Annamrita' has bagged the IMC Ramakrishna Bajaj National Quality award in the NGO category. NGO Annamrita provides food to over 12 lakh students daily through its mid-day meal programme across India. Everyday more than 12 lakh underprivileged children across India get nutritious, sanctified, hygienically prepared meals from 20 centralised ISO certified kitchens from across seven states of India reaching out to over 6,500 schools every day. The allocation for the mid-day meal scheme in the Union Budget 2017 has been increased from Rs 9,700 crore to Rs 10,000 crore by the government and this will support Annamrita to reach out to serve more and more children from government-aided and municipal schools.
