Though the origin of the Foundation would refer it as a Karnataka NGO but its
expansion and impact and implementation would befit it as an Indian NGO. The

achievable by expanding and feeding the children of many other locations
covering the states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Gujarat, Assam, Chhattisgarh,
Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu. In total the Foundation
operates 20 kitchens including the Akshaya Patra kitchen in Bangalore. Of this
18 are centralised kitchen and the remaining two locations follow the
decentralised model namely Baran in Rajasthan and Nayagarh in Odisha.
