Zero Hunger

BML Munjal University (BMU) actively supports Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger through initiatives aimed at promoting food security, reducing food wastage, and fostering community well-being. The University is committed to ensuring access to nutritious food on campus while extending its efforts to address hunger and malnutrition in the surrounding communities.

Community Food Support Programs

BMU’s student-led clubs play a significant role in alleviating hunger in nearby villages. The SAVERA Club, now an NGO, frequently organizes food distribution drives for underprivileged children and families. These efforts not only address immediate food needs but also contribute to the holistic development of children from economically weaker sections. The National Service Scheme (NSS) and Youth Red Cross (YRC) units complement these initiatives by organizing events such as Daan Utsav in collaboration with NGO “Goonj,” where food and essential items are distributed to those in need. Together, these programs have positively impacted over 500 children and families.

Awareness Initiatives for Reducing Food Wastage

BMU fosters awareness about food sustainability through events like the Zero Food Wastage Week celebrated in April 2022. This initiative emphasized the importance of minimizing food waste and encouraged students and staff to adopt mindful consumption habits.

Campus Dining Facilities

The University ensures access to a diverse range of nutritious meals for its students and staff. With two spacious messes serving four buffet meals daily, including both North and South Indian cuisines, BMU caters to varied dietary preferences. Additionally, campus eateries such as Delicious (Chit Chaat), Falhaar-the Juice Corner, Lazeez Rolls, Smoothie Zone and Q Cafe provide a wide variety of food options, ensuring quality and satisfaction for all.

Collaborative Efforts for Hunger Alleviation

In partnership with the Raman Kant Munjal Foundation (RKMF), BMU contributes to community development projects that address food security and malnutrition. Initiatives include infrastructure improvements in adopted villages and vocational training programs aimed at empowering communities to achieve self-sufficiency and improved nutrition.

A Holistic Approach to Zero Hunger

By integrating campus-wide food management practices with impactful community outreach programs, BMU demonstrates its commitment to SDG 2. The University’s efforts to reduce hunger, minimize food waste, and promote sustainable practices reflect its dedication to creating a hunger-free and equitable society.
