India is ranked 111th out of

121 countries in Global
Hunger Index 2023
indicating a “Serious“ level
of Hunger in the Severity
Scale
Over 14.8% of Children in
India are Malnourished and
17.5% of Children (highest in
GHI report) are wasted due
to lack of food
According to a Study by
FASSAI, 1/3rd of the
food(Over 100 million tons
yearly) produced in India
gets Spoilt or Uneaten

Every day, the dining halls of IMI Delhi witness an average waste of 17
kgs of food, equivalent to a whopping 4 tons annually.
This wastage stems from a combination of student leftovers and excess
food prepared by the canteen.
As conscientious members of the IMI Delhi community, it falls upon us to
devise innovative solutions to tackle this pressing issue and transform it
into an opportunity for positive change.

Collaborating with Other Stakeholders and Third Parties

Partner with local NGOs for food rescue & redistribution to those in need
Collaborating with canteen authorities to
Introduce smaller plate sizes as studies show smaller plates lead to less food
waste (19.5% reduction in hotels, 7.4% reduction with 1 cm smaller plates)
Smart bins (that open after student scans the QR code and tracks individual
food dumped by each student). Collaborating with College Management and
Canteen Authorities to create a credit system that automatically adds certain
amount of credits to students each time they don’t waste any food. Students
can use this credits in flavors to buy food and various other services
Collaborate with College Management and Canteen Authorities to implement a
daily food management system in the mess. Create a platform enabling
students to convert money into credits, facilitating daily food purchases. This
not only streamlines food procurement but also promotes conscious
consumption, minimizing wastage while ensuring equitable access to meals
