A Beacon of Awareness Against Food Adulteration and Advocate for Environmental Sustainability

P.G Department of Chemistry at KanyaMahaVidyalaya (KMV) took a resolute step towards fostering awareness against food adulteration and nurturing environmental sustainability through a commendable dual initiative on February 20, 2024.

Under the astute guidance of Dr. ManjuSahni, Head of the P.G. Department of Chemistry, KMV, a pioneering food adulteration camp was organized at Govt. P.A.P Smart School, Jalandhar. The event served as a platform for students to delve into practical experiments aimed at identifying adulterants in commonly used food items such as milk, spices, and others. These experiments, crafted ingeniously using simple household items, empowered students to detect adulteration, thereby promoting consumer awareness and food safety.

Furthermore, recognizing the gravity of food adulteration as a crime, the students also disseminated information regarding pertinent laws and acts pertaining to food adulteration, enlightening the community about their rights and responsibilities in combating this malpractice.

In a parallel endeavor towards environmental stewardship, KMV students embarked on a tree plantation drive, reflecting their commitment to nurturing the environment. With fervor and dedication, saplings were planted to augment green cover, promote biodiversity, and contribute towards a cleaner, healthier ecosystem.

Dr. Atima Sharma Dwivedi, Principal of KanyaMahaVidyalaya, Jalandhar, commended Dr. ManjuSahni for her unwavering efforts in spearheading such impactful initiatives that align with KMV’s ethos of holistic education and community service.Such endeavors underscore KMV’s commitment to fostering socially responsible citizens equipped with the knowledge and skills to address contemporary challenges, safeguard public health, and preserve our precious environment.    `
