We are part of a parents group at our esteemed university. Recently, we've noticed a growing concern about the quality and nutrition of food being served in the university mess. Most times, the meals are unhealthy, lacking in nutritional value and repetitive.

The mess charges have been predetermined and included in our fees, compelling us to opt for the mess food. Regrettably, the quality of food served doesn't reflect the price. We firmly believe there should be professionals such as nutritionists and dietitians involved in the planning of our meals to ensure they meet nutritional standards. Regular checks and tests should be carried out on the served food to ensure it complies with food safety regulations.

Access to a variety of fresh fruits and vegetable salads is essential, and we request these be included henceforth to promote better health among the student population.

Several students across the university have expressed their concern about this pressing issue. It's clear we need immediate intervention to safeguard the health and wellbeing of our students.

We make an earnest appeal to the university management to address this issue as a matter of priority. By maintaining the nutritional quality and hygiene of the university mess, we can foster a healthier and more productive learning environment.

Please, sign this petition to further our cause for a healthier university.
