The 'Eat Right Campus' initiative, led by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), aims to promote safe, healthy, and sustainable food practices within educational campuses, workplaces, hospitals, and tea estates across India. This initiative is crucial from a public health perspective as it seeks to enhance overall health standards by ensuring that food provided in these settings meets high safety and nutritional standards. By fostering environments that support informed and healthful food choices, the initiative helps reduce the risk of diet-related diseases and encourages sustainable food practices. JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research, Mysuru, is committed to transforming its campus into an “Eat Right Campus” to create a healthier and more sustainable environment for its students, staff, and visitors. This commitment involves meeting the standards set by the FSSAI and undergoing a rigorous evaluation process to ensure compliance. By striving to become an Eat Right Campus, JSS AHER demonstrates its dedication to public health and sustainable practices. On August 8, 2024, students from the School of Public Health at JSS Medical College, JSS AHER campus conducted a comprehensive survey of the institution's mess and canteen to assess compliance with the Eat Right Campus initiative. The students used a detailed checklist provided by FSSAI, which is essential for certification. This checklist, divided into four sections, allocates a total of 100 points for assessment and covers various aspects of food safety and nutritional quality. Organized into capstone groups, the students meticulously evaluated the mess and canteen operations, covering three hostel blocks and the campus canteen. This hands-on assessment not only contributed to the Eat Right Campus initiative but also provided students with a valuable opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge to practical, real-world scenarios. Through this active participation, the students enhanced their educational experience, gaining practical skills and insights while significantly contributing to public health initiatives.
