    Akshaya Patra faces several challenges in achieving its mission of feeding schoolchildren across India. These include issues with the supply chain like receiving poor quality rice from the government and adulteration. Their decentralized model faces challenges like rural women having no education or work experience and difficulties maintaining hygiene standards. Their centralized model has issues with distribution of meals and maintaining continual improvement across different regions. To address these, Akshaya Patra is deploying distribution supervisors, providing workforce training, and pursuing automation and a dual distribution strategy. Changes like adequate capacity planning, standardized processes, recruiting and paying employees more, and collaborating with other organizations could help them better achieve their mission.
