Introduction:
We addressed the hygiene issues encountered by students in the canteen, focusing on several issues commonly observed in our daily experiences. To conduct our research, we surveyed 100 students from our college. Our primary focus was specifically for hygiene environment of the canteen.
Objective:
To understand underlined issues of the problem – Hygiene issues in canteen.
Literature review:
As an emerging marketing tool that targets shoppers individually based on their purchase histories, personalized price promotion is likely to address the limitations of untargeted price reductions. However, there is no prior evidence to support the effectiveness of this approach in promoting low-calorie food choices, and which consumer-specific characteristics influence its performance.
Management institutes have grown by leaps and bounds in the past few decades. Some have established themselves as a brand, but many are still struggling. Apart from academics, students need healthy living and mental peace. In a critical situation like Covid-19 pandemic, it becomes very important for parents and other stakeholders that their wards stay in good and healthy living conditions.
