So we think as a first step, this consortium should take measures to control the quality and availability of healthy foods available with in technopark campus. thousands of complaints were raised against the technopark restaurants serving cheap and unhealthy foods for unreasonable prices.
Health should start from technopark restaurants. good post
Health awareness and healthy life style is very much needed for the people working indoors. it is equally applicable for every person who is spending most of the time in a chair.
A healthy atmosphere and availability of healthy food and environment is important to maintain it. Employers can play a vital role in this. i know many companies in Technopark like Infy has their own gym. technopark has its own health club facility. but don’t know much about how good it is.
swimming is also a good practice. spend sometime for take care about your health. a good walk in the campus is enough. but i don’t know how many people are doing it.
Yes, first the authorities should check the food sold at technopark restaurants, then organise such seminars. Most of the food sold here are stale and will cause diarrhoea to most of us.
Make a difference from our daily life. start it from technopark hotels.
1. Make sure that the quality of the food is matching the price
2. Make sure that food is prepared under hygenic enviornment suggested by food control board kerala
3. Make arrangements for random inspection, once in a month
4. Baseline and fix the price and quantity for food items in restaurants
5. Follow healthy practices, like inspect whether they are using the used oils again and again for making food
it has been noticed that the food with in technopark is the worst food available in the entire kerala.
technopark food s**ks. do something for it instead of seminars.
only god can save technopark
Why the induvidual companies can’t start their own canteens in Technopark? if so they can serve quality food for better rates
What a joke? let them control the over-priced and unhygenic technopark restaurants first.
