Sai’s Delight Dietary Services (SDDS) serves the students and teachers of Sri Sathya Sai Hostel for Senior Hostel uniquely. A healthy diet is essential for good health and nutrition. Nutrition helps in recovering from being sick or injured. The role of this department in the hostel is to modify the daily diet pattern of sick students/teachers to meet their requirements during various diseased conditions. The motto of the SDDS is “Let Thy Food be Thy medicine.”

​

Every student in the department works sincerely with commitment to help the sick students and pray for the early recovery of sick students. SDDS upholds good standards in hygiene and cleanliness, ensuring the use of consistently fresh vegetables and foods throughout its three daily dining sessions. We talk to the sick student/teacher, ask for the details and prepare the food accordingly.

 

SDDS serves vegetable kichidi, curd rice, bread jam toast, oats, cornflakes, bread porridge, rava porridge, vegetable soup, idly, dosa, and fruit juices. We also provide hot water and kashayam (decoction made with dry ginger powder, turmeric powder and pepper powder) to people who are suffering from throat infections, cold and cough. In addition, we engage in early morning food preparation at 4 AM, catering to individuals observing Ramadan fasting and ensuring timely service to those participating in the practice.
