While addressing the students, Prof. Buta Singh Sidhu  mentioned that World Food Day is not only about celebrating amazing food that the people have the privilege of indulging in, but is about raising awareness for people from all over the world who suffer from hunger.

He explained that the main principle of this day is the furtherance of food security all over the globe. He discussed that the problem is access and availability of nutritious food, which is increasingly impeded by multiple challenges including the COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts, climate change, inequality, rising prices and international tensions. He advised the students to share their food to avoid wastage and encouraged the students for their better future.

Dr. Kawaljit Singh Sandhu, Head of Department Food Science and Technology, presented a detailed key note about World Food Day emphasizing on the Global Hunger Index (GHI), and the need for healthy diet. He pointed out that although the world has made progress towards building a better world, too many people have been left behind who are unable to benefit from human development, innovation or economic growth such that millions of people around the world cannot afford a healthy diet, putting them at high risk of food insecurity and malnutrition.

The event coordinators, Miss Shaweta Chaturvedi, Ms. Gurjinder Kaur Sidhu, Ms. Riya, Er. Rajinder Singh Smagh, Faculty and Staff of Food Science played key role in organizing the grand event.

Bathinda, August 15
Maharaja Ranjit Singh Punjab Technical University (MRSPTU), Bathinda celebrated 75th Independence Day with enthusiasm and Patriotic fervour at Athletic Ground on Sunday. Saluting the Nation and its freedom fighters, Chief Guest on the occasion, MRSPTU, Vice Chancellor, Prof. Buta Singh Sidhu unfurled the National Flag.

"Revolution is an inalienable right of mankind. Freedom is an imperishable birth right of all. Labour is the real sustainer of the society, the sovereignty of the ultimate destiny of the workers" Prof. Sidhu started his speech while quoting famous lines of Shahid- E-Azam Bhagat Singh.

While addressing, Prof. Sidhu appealed to the gathering to adopt the attitude of humanity, brotherhood, national integrity, progress, prosperity, peace, and justice forgetting the differences of color, creed and caste.

"India is a progressive nation of this world and has achieved advancements in technology, military, arts, agriculture and architecture etc., but the  process of Nation Building is still on," he said while strongly appealing to the youth to arise to the challenges of the day and dedicate themselves to the building of strong Nation.

Being a technical university," We  have a big  responsibility on our shoulders to contribute to the progress of the nation.

India has emerged towards becoming a global power to fulfil it. However, in this competitive world to march further, a nation requires the power of Science & Technology to be counted among the best.   " Even if each of us decides to work with one problem of our society,  we will see that we will be making great contributions towards the nation, the state and to the university," Prof. Sidhu said while  appealing to the students for innovation  and research.

“The pure air and water are the rights of the coming generation. No development is possible by destroying nature. Not only June 5, should every day be environmental protection day,” said Prof. Sidhu while urging  everyone to make their living style and practice nature friendly by  growing  more and more trees. He lauded the efforts of NSS units in arranging such events of environmental protection and spreading the awareness among the students.
