Bengaluru, Mar 6 (Reporter) The Akshaya Patra Foundation, the Government of India's implementing partner for the midday meal scheme hosted Music for Meals, an annual mega event, featuring Vijay Prakash, renowned playback singer of "Singara Siriye" (Kantara) fame, and Pravin Godkhindi, acclaimed Indian Classical Hindustani flute player. The event aimed to blend the harmony of music with the mission of feeding millions of children in need. The concert began with Godkhindi's melodious jugalbandi with his son, Sri Shadaj Godkhindi, wherein they performed Pahadi raga. This was followed by an electrifying duet by Prakash and Godkhindi, featuring popular numbers such as Kaadhal Rojave, Singara Siriye and Jai Ho. The concert was graced by the presence of Sri ML Varchuswee Raje Urs, grandson of Jayachamaraja Wadiyar, royal family of Mysuru, Mysore, actor Prakash Belawadi, and Indian actor and producer Rockline Venkatesh. Moreover, the event also featured the student beneficiaries of the Akshaya Patra Foundation, who joined Prakash for an impromptu performance. Speaking at the event, Shridhar Venkat, CEO of The Akshaya Patra Foundation said, "We are immensely grateful for the support of all our donors, who have been pivotal in our mission of uplifting children across the country. "However, our work is far from done. There are still millions of children in need of our support, who deserve a chance of a better future. "In this context, 'Music for Meals' is a crucial event, as it not only raises awareness about the impact of nutrition on quality education, but also rallies support from compassionate individuals like yourselves, who are committed to joining us in making a difference." The entry to the event was uniquely designed, with individuals getting a complimentary pass by donating to three children (Rs 4500). The proceeds will serve midday meals to socioeconomically challenged children in government and government-aided schools across India...////...
