How We Delivered
The Challenge
The Varanasi kitchen of the Akshayapatra Foundation faces the same demanding requirement as its other locations high temperature hot water before dawn but at nearly double the volume, serving a larger catchment of schools.
Our Solution
A scaled-up solar thermal and heat pump hybrid delivering 75–80°C water at the volumes and timings required by the kitchen’s production cycle, with no compromise on consistency.
The Impact
A larger and more productive kitchen now runs on clean energy, extending the reach of the mid-day meal programme across more schools with greater operational stability.
Why This Project Matters
“Scaling solar-hybrid cooking infrastructure in institutional kitchens is not just a cost decision — it is a food security investment. Every kitchen that transitions reduces the risk of disruption to the children it serves.”
