🍽️ Student Life: Canteen & Dining Standards

Introduction

The NGM College Canteen serves as the culinary hub of the campus, providing students and staff with healthy, affordable, and varied food options. The management views the canteen not just as an eatery, but as a space for social interaction and relaxation in a hygienic environment.

Quality & Hygiene Standards

  • FSSAI Compliance: The canteen operators strictly adhere to the food safety standards prescribed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).

  • Nutritional Balance: The menu is designed to provide balanced nutrition, featuring traditional South Indian meals, snacks, and fresh juices.

  • Sanitation: Regular deep-cleaning of the kitchen and dining hall is conducted. All cooking staff undergo mandatory periodic health check-ups.

  • Water Quality: Only RO (Reverse Osmosis) treated water is used for both cooking and drinking purposes.

Features

  • Affordability: Prices are regulated by the College Canteen Committee to ensure they are student-friendly.

  • Eco-Friendly Practices: NGM encourages a “Zero Plastic Zone” policy. Biodegradable plates and cups are used wherever possible, and food waste is processed in the campus composting unit.

🛡️ f) Student Life: Campus Security & Safety Protocols

Introduction

The safety of our students, especially those residing in hostels, is our highest priority. NGM College employs a multi-layered security strategy combining physical personnel, electronic surveillance, and strict administrative protocols.

24/7 Surveillance & Personnel

  • CCTV Network: The entire campus, including entry/exit gates, corridors, library, and hostel common areas, is under 24/7 CCTV surveillance monitored from a central control room.

  • Trained Guards: Professional security personnel are stationed at all strategic points. Entry for visitors is strictly regulated through a Visitor Management System, requiring identification and purpose of visit.

Specialized Safety Cells

  • Anti-Ragging Squad: A dedicated squad conducts surprise raids in hostels and common areas to ensure a ragging-free environment, in total compliance with UGC regulations.

  • Women’s Safety: The campus features well-lit walkways and “Emergency Contact Numbers” displayed prominently. The Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) provides a formal mechanism for addressing safety concerns.

Emergency Preparedness

  • Fire Safety: All buildings are equipped with fire extinguishers and clearly marked emergency exits. Periodic fire drills are conducted for staff and students.

  • First Aid & Ambulance: A dedicated first-aid room is available on campus. For emergencies, the college maintains a tie-up with a 24-hour multi-specialty hospital located nearby.
