IRS runs IRS Kitchens to provide nutritious meals to the students of IRS, Alpha Centers for Learning, partner schools and other charitable organisations. The Kitchen in Hyderabad is the largest, having a capacity for cooking up to 8000 meals a day and serving more than 50 centers per day. IRS Kitchens have also been set up in Kolkata and Bengaluru, on a smaller scale.
The Kitchens are maintained hygienically, where vegetarian food is cooked fresh everyday and served hot to all the children. Care is taken to ensure that children eat plenty of vegetables, fruits and salads.
