Fuel Your Fitness Feed Their Dreams

Join us for Miles4Meals, a social cause initiative organized by IIIT-Bangalore in collaboration with Akshaya Patra Foundation. By participating in this event, not only will you be taking a step towards improving your fitness, but you will also be contributing to a noble cause. Every registration directly supports the Akshaya Patra Foundation, which provides nutritious mid-day meals to over 2 million underprivileged school children across government and government-aided schools in India.

As you know, the primary goal of the mid-day meal scheme is to boost school enrollment, particularly among economically disadvantaged communities. By providing free meals, the scheme incentivizes more students to attend school regularly, thus improving overall attendance rates. Additionally, these nutritious meals play a crucial role in ensuring that children receive adequate nourishment during their formative years at the elementary level.

Since its launch in 2023, Miles4Meals has become an annual event, symbolizing our collective commitment to making a difference in the lives of those in need. In partnership with CGI and ELCIA, the marathon was aimed to alleviate hunger among disadvantaged school children in and around Electronic City. The participation in the marathon supported around 5500 needy school children. It was a fun-filled day of fitness, community belonging and fundraising. 

Let’s come together to make Miles4Meals a resounding success. Register now and join us in promoting fitness while supporting a cause that truly matters. Together, we can make a significant impact on the lives of these children and help build a brighter future for them. Don’t miss this opportunity to give back to society and make a meaningful difference.
