Under the Mid-Day Meal Scheme of the Central Government, the foundation provides free lunch to school-going children of primary and upper primary classes on working days in government schools across the country to maintain their nutritional standing. For many, the meal the foundation provides may be the only meal they receive in the entire day. So, the organization strives to ensure that the Mid-Day Meal is healthy, nutritious, and packed with all the important fibers, vitamins, and nutrients required for the healthy growth of the child. The meals are customized as per the regional or local taste and provisions by the government.

Under the Integrated Child and Development Services (ICDS), one of the key services is to provide supplementary nutrition to the beneficiaries through the Anganwadi Centers apart from other crucial services like pre-school non-formal education, nutrition, health education, immunization, health check-ups, and referral services. Ekta Shakti Foundation has been contributing to provide supplementary nutrition by creating the Self-Help Groups (SHGs). With the intention of transforming the lives of the women by making them more financially independent and productive members of their families in society, the foundation led to the formation of 4 SHGs in 2014 under Ekta Vihar Project.

Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, the foundation took proactive intervention to resolve the crisis by distributing Take Home Ration (THR) kits to the school-going children. Ekta Shakti Foundation and Unilever in 2021-2022 stepped forward together to deliver Take Home Ration Kits to school-going children in several government schools in Nalanda and Begusarai districts, Bihar and East Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh. The foundation has put its heart into the program to ensure the outreach of the program to 25,000 beneficiaries in both the states. The program had significantly impacted numerous lives. The identified objectives were brought to fruition amongst the beneficiaries in Bihar and Andhra Pradesh. Their nutritional status was enhanced and school enrollments noticed an upsurge post the prosecution of the program. Therefore, such programs are requisite for our community and should be implemented frequently to bring the marginalized students into the mainstream of society.
