Pre- Project Survey-2

Types of Food Brought by the Girls in their Tiffin Boxes


This survey was undertaken for 1200 girls from class IX to XII from KVKV to know what types of food they usually bring in their tiffin boxes to eat during the school’s recess hours.
The school gives a 30 mnts recess as the tiffin break from 10.45 a.m. To 11.15 a.m. The total timing of school is 8.00 a.m. To 1.30 p.m. 50 the girls can have their lunch/meal at their homes after the school hours. .

An inventory was prepared by the KVKV School Canteen Entrepreneurs with the guidance of the Head Teacher Ms Sonal Shah and the Lab Teacher Ms Bhavna Rathod and was given to 1100 girls of KVKV from class IX and above .

Total 10 categories of food was included in this inventory which covers almost all types of food likely to be brought by the girls.

Total 250 girls out of 1200 total students admitted that they do not bring any sort of tiffin boxes with them either because they are not habituated to eat any food at that particular hour since their early childhood or because they take proper break fast early in the morning before they come to school. So the Pre-Project Survey-2 for KVKV School Canteen was conducted for the remaining 950 girls.

Directives for KVKV School Canteen Enterprise after Pre-Project Survey-2


1) 250 girls from class XI to XII from KVKV don’t bring tiffin boxes at all to school             because of various reasons. The school hours stretching from 8.00 am to 1.30 pm are long for any teen age girls and they must eat something in between school hours.

The parents of these 250 girls should be consulted and should be explained about KVKV School Canteen Enterprise. The KVKV School Entrepreneurs should find out why these 250 girls do not eat any thing during school recess and try to make them regular customer of KVKV School Canteen .

2) The 950 girls who bring tiffin boxes from their homes prefer Fried Food Spicy Food and Packed Food , Bread and other Bakery Items instead of  Food, Fresh Fruits, or Boiled Food for more days in a week. So the menu for KVKV School Enterprise should be of the food items which are both healthy and tasty.

3) The 950 girls who prefer tiffin boxes from their homes may purchase food from KVKV School Canteen at least once or twice a week if the food is of their choice, the quality is good and the price is affordable to their pockets.
