April 5, 2026: Miles4Meals 2026
IIIT-Bangalore, in collaboration with the Akshaya Patra Foundation, successfully hosted Miles4Meals 2026, its annual community run featuring 5K and 10K categories. Bringing together over 525 participants, including students, faculty, corporate representatives, and members of the public, the event raised over ₹2.25 lakhs in support of Akshaya Patra Foundation’s Mid-Day Meal Programme for underprivileged school children.
Flagged off by Director Prof. Debabrata Das, the event was successfully led and coordinated by Dr. Neha Arora, Sports Officer, IIIT-Bangalore.
More than a fitness initiative, Miles4Meals serves as a powerful reminder of the collective responsibility to address hunger and nutrition challenges among children. Every step taken by participants contributed towards ensuring that more children have access to nutritious meals and brighter futures.
Launched in 2023, Miles4Meals has grown into a flagship IIIT-Bangalore initiative, reflecting the institute’s commitment to community engagement, social responsibility, and meaningful societal impact. We thank our sponsors for supporting this event.
