Eating or throwing? A billion go Hungry!!

With a wish to want more and grow exponentially, there are countless eateries opening across the length and breadth of the city, state, and geographies. To serve their patrons best quality food and faster delivery, restaurants pile up inventories, the most challenging place where the food in bulk is prepared is that for parties, weddings and events. To keep up the quality intact and follow food security norms, the unused food is thrown and wasted a lot, food which can feed a billion, who sleep hungry every day or millions die of malnutrition.

System Research Society in continuation of National Campaign on Reducing Food Wastage: Don’t You Waste Food Campaign’s (DYWF) Ahmedabad Conclave conducted an awareness walk against food wastage on August 29, 2018.

There was an active participation witnessed by school students, educators, professors, NCC Cadets, people from the Food Association Group (FEA) and youth ambassadors of DYWF campaign. The participating institutions were Shreyas Foundation, National Cadet Corps, Kendriya Vidyalaya and Shree Narayan College of Commerce. Other than those, citizens of Ahmedabad joined the march, which commenced from the Sabarmati River Front Park.

The message put up was, “life runs of food and we shall not waste it”.

“Shreyas Foundation will definitely carry this forward and will participate in future workshops organized as a part of DYWF campaign.” We believe that our awareness seminars are a tool that will yield tangible results in the form of food waste reduction. Walk makes the impact of the same more prominent. This walk was a mark that the DYWF brand ambassadors have come together to be a part of the fight against global food waste. On the other side, various key personnel from F & B industry exchanged their views at Lemon Tree hotel.

DYWF is an awareness programme, aimed at reducing food wastage across levels.

Studies have shown that 4.5 trillion hectares of land grows world's food. Food grown on 1.4 trillion hectares of land is wasted which is larger than Europe. To grow this 250 trillion litres of water is used. It is the annual water use of Europe x 4 times.

One-third of food produced is lost or wasted globally. This also means that huge amounts of the resources used in food production are used in vain.

Let us all unite together, take a pledge and not be driven by fads.

Respect food and the chain of resources... let it not go in trash!!

Sands to Skyscrapers: Dubai’s Architectural Marvels

A New Dawn in the Desert By: Kulveen Narula “The future belongs to those who can imagine it, design it, and execute it. It isn't something you await, but rather create.” — H. H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum A t the turn of the millennium, while the world was celebrating the arrival of Y2K , a quiet revolution had begun brewing in the Middle East. The United Arab Emirates, particularly Dubai , was preparing to reimagine itself—not just as a city but as a symbol of human possibility. From a land once known only for its sands and souks, rose a futuristic skyline that rivals the best on Earth. In just 25 years , Dubai evolved into a global epicentre of design, engineering, and luxury—where the homo sapiens are actually living on Cloud 9, giving us a strong dream etched on sand, which didn't disappear overnight but amplified year on year imparting a twinkle in the eye of millions in the world to light up a dream.

Recently the importance of vermilion powder - termed as "Sindoor" was the nomenclature of the army operation conducted in retaliation to the terrorist attacks in Kashmir where caste was primary specification of those targeted. This itself indicates that makeup and grooming have been an essential element of our culture and tradition since time immemorial.
