Meal times are happy times at Delhi Public School, Katni. All the children sit together and share meals. It is a good opportunity for bonding and fosters greater camaraderie between students. The teachers also eat with the children and this facilitates a closer bond between them. The children are also taught dining room etiquette and table manners.
Dining halls serve hygienic and nutritious vegetarian meals under the supervision of a trained dietician, planned by a food committee. Requests for special diet, supported by medical evidence, are accommodated in cases of illness, convalescence and allergies to specific food items.
Junk food and carbonated beverage are not allowed. By insisting that the children should eat the nutritionally balanced and healthy food provided by the school, it is ensured that children acquire correct food habits.
