Using Technology Extensively for Minimizing Cost, Time and Labor

Akshaya Patra has built global standards of supply chain efficiency and built forward and backward linkages by ensuring that procurement is done directly from the farmers for the inputs and delivered to the beneficiaries in the most cost-efficient manner.
