Students of residential ashram schools in Jawhar held a “Tamasha” protest march against the centralised kitchen system, alleging it results in stale food and health risks. The students surrounded the Tribal Development Project office and began an indefinite sit-in. Their 13 demands include improved facilities and administrative action, with protesters seeking formal written commitments.
Palghar, Maharashtra: Hundreds of students residing in government-run residential ashram schools took to the streets in Jawhar on Tuesday, staging a high-profile "Tamasha" protest march followed by an indefinite sit-in at the Jawhar Tribal Development Project office over the alleged distribution of poor-quality food to students.
Students Demand Scrapping Of Centralised Kitchen Model
The primary demand driving the student agitation is the immediate abolition of the centralized kitchen system, alongside a 13-point charter of demands addressing systemic administrative neglect and inadequate facilities across regional residential ashram schools.
Protesting students raised serious health and safety concerns regarding the logistics of the Central Kitchen model. According to the demonstrators, preparing meals at a single centralized location and transporting them to distant ashram schools leads to significant delays. As a result, students receive stale food, creating a severe risk of widespread food poisoning.
