Directives for KVKV School Canteen Enterprise after Pre-Project Survey-3

After the pre-Project Survey-3 of KVKV School Canteen Enterprise, the findings indicate that the KVKV School Canteen must offer a variety of dishes and no food item should be repeated frequently as the food choices of all girls don’t show much consistency.

The food items like veg manchurian, Chinese Bhel, Pasta, Veg. Samosa, Veg. Kachori and Alloo Paratha are not frequently cooked at their homes and hostels so these food items should be cooked in more amount as they are likely to be sold. These food items should be selected during the first couple of weeks of KVKV School Canteen Enterprise as The KVKV School Canteen Enterpreneurs will cook only one food item every day.
