The district of Mandya is preparing for a significant public awareness event focused on food safety and consumer rights, with participation expected to cross the two-thousand mark. The celebrations, which were rescheduled from their original date, will now be held on January 9 at Ambedkar Bhavan.
Postponed Event Draws Major Collaborative Effort
Originally slated for December 24, the programme was postponed to the new date of January 9. The chairman of the state food commission, H Krishna, revealed the details and the revised schedule during a preparatory meeting with officials at the Mandya guest house. He emphasised that the core goal of the event is to educate the public on the intrinsic value and critical importance of safe food practices.
A Multi-Departmental Initiative for Public Education
This is not a standalone effort but a large-scale collaborative project. The event is being organised through the joint work of 14 different government departments. To effectively disseminate knowledge, 14 informational stalls will be set up at the venue. Each stall will serve as a point of contact for citizens to learn about various aspects of food safety, regulations, and consumer rights directly from the experts.
Chairman Calls for a Model District Event
Chairman H Krishna stressed that the success of such an important initiative hinges on unified action. He urged all Mandya officials involved to work with efficiency and dedication. His vision is to make this event a benchmark, a model that other districts across the state can follow. He believes that raising awareness on these issues can only be achieved through persistent and collective efforts.
The upcoming Food Safety and National Consumer Day celebrations in Mandya represent a proactive step by the authorities to bridge the information gap between policy and the public. With thousands of attendees anticipated and a wide array of departments participating, the event is poised to make a substantial impact on community awareness regarding food security and consumer empowerment.
