Insect found in mess food, students of DAIICT raise concerns
Updated: Sep 6th, 2024
Students at the Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (DAIICT) in Gandhinagar have expressed concerns over the presence of insects in the food served at the mess. This issue has been particularly problematic for first-year students who are required to stay in the hostel and have limited options for dining.
Students have observed insects in various dishes served at the mess. Complaints have been filed both by students and their parents. The mess was introduced this year to provide convenience to first-year students, but the recent incidents have raised questions about its quality and hygiene standards.
The university’s registrar has clarified that staying in the hostel is mandatory, while eating in a mess is optional.
Campus has other canteen options for food for those who wish to avoid mess food, says registrar.
The institute acknowledged the situation and assured that these issues of food are not that frequent but the university is considering the matter as serious and will address it promptly.
The students’ complaints have highlighted the need for improved food safety measures at the DAIICT mess. As the academic year progresses, it remains to be seen how the institute will address these concerns and ensure the well-being of its students.
