The University Grants Commission has issued a notice to all the colleges and higher education institutions affiliated to it (UGC), directing them to ban the junk food in the college premises.
“Banning junk food in colleges would set new standards for healthy food and make the students live better, and learn better and also reduce the obesity levels in young learners, thus preventing lifestyle diseases which have a direct link with excessive weight” said the UGC in the advisory to the universities.
