The University Grants Commission (UGC) has urged higher educational institutions to promote the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India's (FSSAI) initiatives on food safety among students. Highlighting the vulnerability of students to foodborne illnesses due to hectic schedules and reliance on ready-to-eat food, the UGC's letter emphasizes the importance of educating students on healthy food practices. The initiative aims to foster food safety consciousness and improve student well-being through informed dietary choices.
