IIT Kharagpur Hostel Introduces Dining Segregation Based on Diet

Some Indian universities are changing how students eat in their dining halls.

At IIT Kharagpur, a hostel is making people who eat meat and people who don't sit at separate tables because some students complained.

This is new because in the past, everyone sat together.

It's similar to what happened at IIT Bombay, where one cafeteria stopped serving any meat at all.

Some people think these changes are a good idea, but others worry it makes it harder for students from different backgrounds to get to know each other.

The director of IIT Kharagpur has acknowledged the change, stating the decision was made to accommodate student preferences.
