Private agricultural college begins serving non-vegetarian food to girl hostellers
COIMBATORE: A private agricultural and horticultural college in Ranipet district has begun serving non-vegetarian (NV) food to female hostellers from Thursday, ending gender bias in meal provision. The action follows TNIE's story published on August 28 titled 'Denied non-veg food at private college, claim female hostellers'.
According to sources at the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU), the college administration decided to provide NV food to female hostellers twice a week, chicken biryani on Thursdays and chicken gravy on Mondays. Accordingly, chicken biriyani was served to girl hostellers on Thursday night (September 3). "Students welcomed this move and were happy," sources added.
A senior official at the institution confirmed to TNIE that they have started providing NV food to female hostellers.
