Delhi University’s college canteens have been a hot topic of discussion; from a dead lizard in the fried rice at Hindu College’s canteen to Hansraj College’s cafeteria banning non-vegetarian food, a lot has happened over the academic year that’s coming to a close. But now, the varsity has announced a collaboration with the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and usually lamenting youngsters are hopeful that the condition of their canteens might improve.
Talking about the collaboration — which is part of the FSSAI’s outreach programme, Eat Right Campus — DU proctor Rajni Abbi informs us that Food Security Officers will be appointed in each college. “Conferences will be held to educate students, faculty and canteen personnel about food hygiene and security. After this we will declare DU an Eat Right University,” Abbi adds.
