Police officers in Madhya Pradesh take over the canteen of a police school due to complaints about the food quality.
In a significant move to enhance the quality and nutritional value of meals for trainees, the mess operations at eight police training schools in Madhya Pradesh have been handed over to newly selected constables. This change aims to ensure better management and transparency in the food process.
Under the new system, the cost of meals has been reduced from up to Rs 3,500 per month to between Rs 3,000-3,200. This decrease in cost, according to the ADG, Training & Complaints, Raja Babu Singh, has been accompanied by improved quality and more nutritious meals.
The newly formed mess committees oversee menus, food quality, and expenses at these schools. The Superintendent of Police (SP) now monitors the food process directly, ensuring accountability and adherence to the new standards.
The day starts with a nutritious breakfast served at 8:30 am, consisting of milk, banana, poha, porridge, or sprouted grains. Tea and biscuit are served at 11:00 am and 5:00 pm to keep energy levels high throughout the day. Lunch, served at 1:30 pm, includes dal, rice, vegetable, roti, salad, and paneer sabzi at least twice a week. Dinner, served at 7:30 pm, includes dal, rice, vegetable, roti, salad, with kheer or halwa twice a week.
Trainees are being educated on nutrition to ensure balanced meals, with a focus on maintaining a healthy diet. This initiative is part of a broader effort to promote wellness and overall health among the trainees.
However, no information is provided about the staff responsible for food or any allegations of arbitrary charges under the previous system. It's also worth noting that no specific details about the composition of the meals other than those listed have been disclosed.
Despite the lack of information regarding the Superintendent of Police who now directly oversees the management of meals, the change in food arrangements has been welcomed by trainees and authorities alike. The improved food quality and reduced costs are a positive step towards enhancing the living conditions of trainees during their nine-month training period.
