The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India initiated 'Eat Right Campus' with an aim to promote safe, healthy, and sustainable food in campuses such as police stations, schools, universities, colleges, workplaces, hospitals, tea estates etc. across the country. It is based on a rating mechanism with a set of well-defined benchmarks on food safety and hygiene, food waste management, healthy diet, promotion of local seasonal food, and awareness among citizens.
The objective behind this initiative is to improve the health of people and promote social and economic development of the nation.
In today's fast-paced life, a large number of working professionals and students are spending the majority of their time at the workplace or college campus. In such a scenario it becomes indispensable to eat healthy and safe food to stave off a plethora of foodborne diseases, deficiencies of micronutrients like vitamins and minerals, and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like hypertension, diabetes, and heart-related diseases.
FSSAI from being a "regulator and enforcer" has also become the "chief convenor and enabler" of change with time.
