Hi-tech kitchen sets benchmark in student welfare
Representative Image MANGALURU: In a significant step towards modernising student welfare infrastructure, the Ambika Group of Educational Institutions in Puttur has set up a state-of-the-art kitchen that blends efficiency, hygiene, and technology. Run by the Nattoja Foundation Trust, the institution invested in a fully automated cooking facility designed to serve hostel students with nutritious meals promptly and hygienically. Every task, from chopping vegetables to final food preparation, is mechanised. There are machines to knead dough for chapatis, roll the dough into chapatis, transfer them to the cooking area, and even move the cooked chapatis to a designated tray. The machine can produce about 600 to 800 chapatis per hour. When needed, it can also be used to make pooris instead of chapatis. A steam system has been implemented for cooking rice, enabling boiled rice to be cooked in just 15 minutes and parboiled rice in 30 minutes, saving both time and fuel. Vegetables too can be steamed hygienically and efficiently using this system. It is also used for boiling milk. This state-of-the-art kitchen was set up at a cost of approximately Rs 40 lakh. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning...

Institution offers free education to kids of Pahalgam victims
Mangaluru: The Ambika Group of Educational Institutions at Puttur near here has decided to offer free education to the children of those who lost their lives in the terrorist attack at Pahalgam in Jammu & Kashmir. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Foundation Trust previously declared free education for children of displaced Kashmiri Pandits following atrocities committed against them. Following this, two students from Kashmir enrolled at Ambika Pre-University College in Puttur, said trust president Subrahmanya Nattoja. The Nattoja Foundation Trust , which runs Ambika Vidyalaya (CBSE), two separate Ambika Pre-University Colleges (for day scholars and residential students), and Ambika Degree College, will offer free education in any class — from LKG up to the degree level. In addition, food and accommodation will also be provided free of cost, he said. "For many years, Ambika Institution has been providing education at a concessional fee to the children of soldiers who sacrifice their personal lives to protect the nation. When soldiers from the Puttur area return after retirement, the institute has a tradition of honouring them with a parade. The group also has the distinction of having established the only Amar Jawan Jyoti memorial in South India, where a flame burns continuously in Puttur," he said. Students of Ambika Institutions submitted a memorandum to the Home Minister through the Assistant Commissioner of Puttur urging for the complete eradication of terrorism.
