Aug 28-08 : Pathetic Dining Hall condition in Habib Hall... Print E-mail
Written by Mohammad Nasim   
Thursday, 28 August 2008

ASAK,i m a resident member of habib hall, the most pathetic hall in amu as for as Dining Hall conditions are concerned.

How they are Pathetic? Here im giving u example, in 710 Rupees they povide only slice in breakfast for 4 Days, 1 paties 2 Days, 1 Day pury sabzi.

Paties that they provide if u will eat u will start vomating. Only for one time they  provide meat either in noon or in night no provision for chicken in this hall.

If any student ask about this and compare that in other hall like SZ, VM, SULAIMAN, how they are providing in the same 710 rupees chholley-bhature 2times, paratha 1, pury sabzi1, and rest is slice, how they r providing daily both time meat for lunch  and dinner even, how they r providing murga after every 15 days, then their answer is that in other halls all student pay more than 710 as deficit.

Assalamo Alaikum
The need of time is to rethink about this problem and try to new method by discarding the tradtional approach.In my opinion there should be following steps to improve the functioning of Dinning Hall.
1 Let the re-organise the dinning hall on central basis by providing a central purchase and central supplying centre.The university work on to get the subsidize food items from the goverment agencies like FCI.The central supplying centre of university which supply all items of dinning hall from spice to salt should locate in university and work under supervision of an incharge working under finance officer.
2 This central dinning hall organisation work under a committee comprised onstudents from hall and officers from university administartion.Every incharge student of dinning hall should be a member with finace officer+Registrar +Incharge of central dinning hall +Provost of the halls+procter+hon.Vice chancellor of the university.
3 The incharge of central dinning hall will purchase the required items of all university dinning hall for three months with pre-approval of the committee .
4 All the dinning hall have to purchase the required items from this central dinning hall centre.
5 There should be a common menu for all the halls.
6 There should be group of monitoring teachers who supervise the different halls from time to time and suggest for the improving the quality of food.
In my opinion by this way the university will not only check the ongoing corrution in dinning hall but also will be in position to remove the disparity among the functioning of the halls with different menus.students will be get justice and the chance of rumour will be minimise.The comparision will be ended.And if there is profit ,then Hf/Ff to the poor and needy students.If there is loss the university will know it in advance.The middle man folly will be ended in dinning hall functioning.The provost whose honesty is always on stake due to this dinning hall, will be save .
Thank

I totally agree with Brother Mohammad Alam. Unless the students get involved in situations like this you will not see any improvement. A student committee needs to take charge and see how you can make changes to improve the functioning of the dining halls.
I am not just saying this, but speaking from my own personal experience. And believe me, it works!!! In 1990-1991 we were so tired of the same boring dining routine. It was Abdullah Hall and Zakia apa was our provost along with Nazma Apa as our dining hall incharge. And upon complaining we always got the same reply, "ke poora nahi parta hai. khud karo to pata chale. We try to do our best." And then we finally did it. A group of us final year students, took charge. (Those were some days). We did everthing from budgeting to inventory, quotes, grocery lists, to menu decisions based upon student choices...etc, except for cooking (lol):). I will not say that it was easy since we had a lot of other responsibilities as well but it did bring about changes ( at least we enjoyed our dininng hall food then ) and we proved to the authorities that it was accomplishable. Also, that was our final year so we could not follow up on that.
What you can do is form two or three committees with interested students and distribute responsibilities amongst these committees so that all the burden doesn't fall on a few and it's easy to deal with along with the educational load.
The point I am trying to make here is that changes will not happen unless you make them happen. You just have to do it yourself with the help of others. You might just end up setting an example for future generations to come . My best wishes are with you and may Allah help you in all this.

Iqbal Khan - USE RTI Unregistered | Aug-29-08
students now can use RTI and get the information about the purchases made to run the dinning hall. This is truth and may be some of us dont wanna listen or digest BUT some time food committes and Dining Hall Incharge make money from VENDORS.

But I would suggest forget about all this and try to get the information against RTI about the purchases and its a request to ALL FOOD COMMITTEE to think about central supply system (as suggested by Brother ALLAM) and try to beat the prices with negotiations to other vendors.

If we keep running with same existing style then this issue would not solve and students will not concentrate on studies with 100% attentention.

Every brother and sister in
"Alig.Spirit" ASK;
I am shocked to know that the dinning hall of Habib Hall of my most beloved University(AMUA) is so pathetic.
It is not new, as in my days it was very common in some halls but the then VCs had been bold and sincerely concerned and on any such reports they immediately used to take stern actions against the Dinning Hall incharge,wardens concerned or even in some cases Provosts had been removed then and there.
Vcs used to give surprise visits and than eveybody used to be elert and that practice made all the concerned affraid of actions.
Tayyab ji,Zakir saheb,even,Prof.Aleem,Col.Bahir Zaidi,Ali Yawar Jung,Prof.A.M.Khusro used to give surprise visits and even used to take dinner,lunch,breakfast etc. with the students thus that practice made everyone affraid of any malpractice.
Anyway,it is very shamefull that during the tenure of a VC who unfortunately was never a student of AMUA and could realise the values of the town but I still believe that if this information is put up before Prof.P.K.Abdul Aziz than he would surely take action immediately so I request the students to meet him without any fear otherwise they will suffer more.

Na Zulm Karo Na Zulm Saho".
Yeh to humaray kal kay heroes kay future ka sawaal hay is liyay ziada say ziada logon ko aagay ana chhahiyay.
What they will eat will make their mind and body and thus they will become the future VCs,VPs(like Mr.Hamid Ansari),President(like late Zakir Husain Khan),Zafar Iqbal(Hockey Captain of India),Inam-ur-Rehman(Hockey icon),Govinda,Aslam Sher Khan(all Hockey leagends),Lala Amarnath(Indian Cricket Captain),Majaz(Taran writer of AMUA),Tabbassum(film actress),Naseer uddin Shah(hero) and many other icons of the world,if not like me(a poor and helpless Alig now) or they will spoil their growing growth which needs proper diet at this time.
I am happy that my dear,cute and bold Mohammad Nasim mian has taken this very essential,important and bold step and on the reaction Mohd.Alam,Saba Masood and Iqbal mian all have expressed their very valueable suggestions.
I thank them all and request all others who see this on this forum to come forward with some good suggestions.
If any other help is required I will request u all to send me the authentic informations and then I will wtite in other dailies/magazines and webmagazines to help my dear,cute and futre heroes of AMUA,Inshah Allah.
