Government's Millet Campaign Inspires Quantum University's Millet Food Stall Competition

October 3, 2023: The Government of India is promoting the production and consumption of these healthy grains through a variety of interactive activities including quizzes, recipe sharing, and slogan competitions around the country in 2023, which has been designated as the International Year of Millets. The Department of Applied Medical Sciences and Hotel Management at Quantum University collaborated to create a unique event—the Millet-based Food Stall Competition—as a part of this international endeavor. This innovative project demonstrated the art of cooking with millets and emphasised their important function in producing delicious and nutritious snacks. Milletacious Bars, Ragi Brownies, Multi-grain Namkeen, Ragi Ladoos, Bajra Ladoos, Bajra Cutlets, and Barnyard Millet Kheer with Khajuria, all expertly made, were just a few of the delectable treats on display at the 13 kiosks. 

"Through this competition, we are showcasing the talents of our students and disseminating important information about millets," said Mr. Ajay Goyal, chairman of Quantum University. It demonstrates how even tiny dietary adjustments can greatly impact overall health. "The fusion of culinary expertise with a focus on health is a remarkable step forward," said Dr Vivek Kumar, vice chancellor of Quantum University. Being a member of a project promoting healthier eating habits via education and inspiration is an honour. The competition culminated with a joyous announcement of the victors, during which the youngsters displayed their great talent. The duo behind the delicious Ragi Nachos Chaat, expertly made by Gaurav Joshi and Rajat Narayan, won the Millet-based Food Competition.

Since September is recognised as Nutrition Month, Quantum University upholds this custom by holding a number of health-related activities and campaigns every year to spread awareness of the role that nutrition plays in general well-being. The partnership between the Department of Applied Medical Sciences and Hotel Management exemplifies the university's dedication to cutting-edge methods in health and nutrition teaching. It supports the notion that making wise food decisions can significantly improve both an individual's and a community's well-being.
