Decreasing the food prices in UTP






             Day by day, prices of everyday needs keep on increasing. The burden is very much felt by university students. UTP is not excluded in this issue thus, the Student Cafe Committee(SCC) realise the responsibility it carries for this particular issue, to help UTP students ease their burden by keeping the food prices in UTP cafes reasonable.

           The first immediate action taken was to conduct a meeting between the UTP management and owners of the cafeterias in UTP. This meeting was held to find a solution for the rising prices of foods. One of the solutions was to have a standard prices for all foods sold in cafeterias. The main idea was to prevent any cafes from putting their food prices above the agreed prices.
Cafe owners have sent a proposal to the UTP management regarding their suggested price for each single meal to be standardised and the approval is still pending. SCC has made a point to hear the student’s opinion on the requested prices of foods made by the cafeterias. The proposal of the suggested price from the cafeterias is made public for UTP students to look at.

            SCC needs the cooperation from UTP students to share their opinion on the proposal. Honest opinion and views are most welcomed. Overall consideration should be taken by students to share their opinion. If the price of the proposal is not agreed, suggest a reasonable price.
