Odisha Colleges Directed to Reduce Cooking Oil Use Amid Global Supply Challenges
The Odisha government has directed principals of all government and government-aided colleges to reduce cooking oil usage in campus canteens, particularly avoiding high-oil breakfast items like puris, vadas, and bondas. This move responds to global supply chain disruptions and geopolitical conflicts affecting food, fuel, and fertiliser supplies. The directive also encourages using traditional oils such as ghee, mustard, and groundnut oil, and promotes community awareness to conserve cooking oil without compromising nutrition.
