Samosa and Kachori will disappear from the canteens of colleges across the country

Mumbai: Food items like samosa, kachori, noodles, bread pakora will no longer be available in college canteens across the country. The University Grants Commission has recently issued a notice regarding the food served in the canteens of universities and colleges. It has banned some fried snacks.

UGC issued a circular to ban the sale of food items that are dangerous for health. Only nutritious and healthy food will be served in the college canteens. Therefore, the college canteens will have to change their menu and a separate committee will also have to be formed to check it from time to time.

Higher education institutions were first advised in this regard on 10 November 2016 and 21 August 2018. But nothing much was done. Educational institutions have been told to consider the notification as a final warning.
