Respect Food Movement: Celebrate Festivals Without Waste

Newz Daddy Business Updates

Aahar Management Association – With Respect Food We Aim To Protect Farmers, Reduce Waste, And Build a Cleaner City.

Narendrasinh Purohit, President of Aahar Management Association, said that for many years, “Aahar” has been working for food business owners. The group helps in government schemes and also presents the problems of food traders to the right people so that solutions can be found.

On the birthday of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Aahar has planned many programs under the “Seva Pakhwadiyu”.

Campaigns and Activities

• Shuddh Ke Liye Yudh (War for Purity)
• “Cleanliness is Service”
• “Respect Food”
• “Plastic-Free India”
• “Selfie with Clean Dish” campaign
• “Local for Vocal”
• Promotion of Indian food culture
• Awareness about food safety during the festival season
• Nutrition kit distribution

Diwali Special Plan

This Diwali, Aahar will work with sweet shop owners. Millions of sweet boxes will carry stickers about Modi ji’s Swachh Bharat Abhiyan so that the message of cleanliness reaches every home.

Respecting Farmers and Food

Farmers work hard in all weather to grow grains for us. Still, many people in the world don’t get enough food, while we waste a lot. To stop this, Aahar started the “Respect Food” campaign.

• In hotels and restaurants, people will be encouraged not to leave food on the plate.
• If a customer finishes the dish without waste, they will get a 10% discount.
• “Selfie with Clean Dish” will be promoted.

Reducing Plastic Use

Plastic harms nature and takes years to destroy. It blocks gutters, spreads dirt, and pollutes the seas.

• Traders will be encouraged to use biodegradable products.
• Replace plastic bottles with glass bottles.
• Help people get eco-friendly products easily.

Smoke-Free Cooking

Wood, coal, diesel, and petrol cause smoke and pollution. Aahar will promote electric ovens and stoves to make cooking smoke-free and safe for health.

Promoting Indian Food and Millets

• Modi ji declared International Millet Year to promote “Shree Ann” (millets).
• Aahar will encourage traders to make more millet-based dishes.
• Indian foods like laddoo, peda, samosa, kachori, and jalebi are often called unhealthy by some foreign groups. Aahar will fight this false claim and show that pizza, cakes, and chocolates are more harmful.
• Programs will be held to protect and promote Indian traditional foods.

Nutrition and Health Programs

• Nutrition kits will be given to workers and TB patients for better health.
• Free medical check-ups will be arranged for waiters, cooks, chefs, and food workers to stop the spread of diseases.
• Training will be given on the dangers of using overused oil, which can cause cancer.
• Awareness programs on using good-quality fridges and insulators to keep food fresh.

Festival and Wedding Season Plans

The next six months include Navratri, Dussehra, Diwali, and many weddings. Traders will be guided to:

• Provide the best quality food at fair prices.
• Take care of public health during festivals.
• Use good-quality raw materials like oil, ghee, mawa, paneer, flour.
• Keep kitchens, godowns, and workspaces clean and hygienic.
• Ensure workers have regular health check-ups.
