Mess Committee

“Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside” – Mark Twain 

Food is an imperative element of human survival. Since there has never been any other satisfactory human body fuel that could replace it, Mess Committee, a student body, plays a very significant role to satisfy the elementary need of the students. Food holds different meanings for different people. Cultures, clans, families, and the identity of individuals are shaped by the food they eat and the way it is prepared and served to them. This pushes us to do better than the best and drives us to accomplish these challenges successfully. 

Established in 1980, the same year as that of foundation year of IMT Ghaziabad, Mess Committee coordinates and manages all mess activities to manage nutritious and wholesome supply of food to the students. 

Mess Committee facilitates the availability of quality and variety of food to over 1,250 students, faculty members, and academic & non-academic staff four times a day (which includes breakfast, lunch, evening snacks, and dinner) and seven days a week. A dedicated team of 50 odd Mess Staff workers put relentless efforts in making this possible. The Team takes utmost care while preparing Mess Menu to ensure that the food items represent not only all the demography within India but also Mughlai, Chinese and Italian options.  

Situated over 300 sq. m. of land, the primary Mess of IMT Ghaziabad has state-of-the-art facilities and can provide seating for over 1,000 students at a time. Mess Committee has an active feedback page, where every query, suggestion, and criticism are appreciated and properly evaluated leading to continual improvement and improving the food experience for students delightful away from home. 

Coordination with vendors, inventory management, floor operations, effective communication skills, public relations, cost saving and budgeting for events, and event management are the critical responsibilities of the Mess Committee. Therefore, the functional skill deployment at the Mess Committee requires a combination of expertise in domains like finance, marketing, human resources, and operations, thereby empowering and enabling the overall development of members 

Mess committee organizes various event each year that witness massive participation from the students: –

Mess Day: One of the innovative events, ‘Mess Day’ is celebrated at IMT Ghaziabad with utmost pride and satisfaction. Mess Committee along with student volunteers, prepare and serve food for the Mess staff as well as the entire student body for the whole day. This is a way of showing student’s gratitude towards the Mess Staff. And of course, it’s a lot of fun when students make the cooking arena their own! 

We aren’t limited to these events and always innovating and planning events for more interactions, more smiles on faces of students. 

Mess is the source of energy of IMT. It helps IMT breathe, see, run and achieve great heights. It brings people together, helps and facilitates students to dig deep and unlock their potential. Away from home and engaged in the busy B-School life, students need someone to take care of their health and nutrition after all. 

Driven by need, Inspired by smiles
