We really are hoping the university does something soon. NLUJ has introduced a mess policy. They got in a tender so awfully negotiated that the vendor has restricted on the amount of vegetable each student gets, and restricted egg allocation to one per student. Only Rice and Daal is unlimited, thank heavens. Daal is watered down on most days. Non veg is served only on 2 days, again highly restricted. Due to the vendor's religious beliefs, no eggs/non veg will be served or even the ones we have ordered on zomato can be had in the common mess area. There is clear religious dictum being issued by a vendor on the students. I for one, am a fat kid, lost a couple of kilos, kinda glad I guess but I should lose weight on my own terms not because of a faulty admin and a bad mess. Admin has asked us to wait. They are re-negotiating the same (it's been a month). If the admin does not get the mess' mess in order, students are planning to protest against the same. NLUJ Alumni reading this, kindly bombard the Admin with emails and action regarding this.

The fact that Nluj admin has been always oversmart can be always inferred from certain perspectives. Few months back Nluj opened their day zero doors earlier than NLS which costed everyone their jobs as the college (NluJ) was barely able to place anyone within their batch.

“ NLUJ RCC doing its day z before all other T1s was a pretty well executed Italian torpedo strategy

the scenes would have been far far worse had we come after nls, nalsar and nujs”

I mean, get a life bro.

(According to inside sources), the new administration is strongly aligned with the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh). The tender that has been allotted was influenced significantly by internal politics within the RSS. Among our students, there are individuals whose parents are high-ranking members of the RSS. In light of recent incidents, the college administration sought the assistance of these high-level RSS members to maintain its reputation. Consequently, the students are now facing repercussions due to this involvement.

As the OP let me clarify, that the mess system as a concept is better than the previous system. Far better than Gopsa and Joshi's capitalistic ventures. It's just these quantity restrictions, quality of food, and lack of skills in negotiating a tender is an issue. The University is generating approx 1.2-1.5Cr from the student mess fees per semester. Not a bad sum, assuming there is no ghapla in the middle from the admin.

wouldn't call it subsidised for sure. most students were spending up to 10,000 a month easily in just in campus food, multiple complaints of food poisoning with many students landing in the hospital over the food quality, literal rat and insect infestations. For the price the current system is working at it is only economical and at least of better quality than the previous system
