Education Ministry Bans Fried Foods in Canteen for Health Push
The Ministry of Education is changing what's served in its office canteen to help employees be healthier.
Instead of fried snacks like samosas and pakoras, the canteen will now offer lighter, healthier meals.
This change is happening because the government wants people to eat better and stay active.
It follows a similar move by schools, which are also working to reduce sugar and promote healthy eating habits for kids.
The goal is to help everyone stay healthy, focused, and feel good throughout the day!
The Ministry of Education (MoE) is implementing a new canteen menu with healthy options.
Deep-fried foods like samosas, pakoras, and jalebis will be removed.
The change aims to promote employee health, focus, and a healthier lifestyle.
The initiative is inspired by Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji's appeal.
This follows the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)'s directive for healthier eating in schools.
