The Eat Right Mela 2025, themed “Eat Healthy and Live Healthy,” was a premier culinary challenge organized under the Eat Right India Movement by the Directorate of Food & Drugs Administration Goa (FDA Goa). This initiative emphasized the importance of healthy eating in combating malnutrition and obesity while celebrating Goan cuisine and local culture.

Supported by the Culinary Forum of Goa (CFG), the event brought together industry professionals to inspire, educate, and advocate for nutritious food choices. As part of Goa’s larger tourism landscape, it is our collective responsibility to provide safe, healthy, and nutritious food to all.

Held on February 28, 2025, at Inox Courtyard, Panjim, the event witnessed an enthusiastic turnout of thousands of locals and food lovers, eager to witness the culinary challenge unfold.

The competition featured three categories:

• Professional
• Student
• Domestic

Registrations received an overwhelming response from across Goa, with several institutes from outside the state also participating to provide their students with a memorable and enriching experience.

The event was a resounding success, and we look forward to hosting even more engaging editions in the future.
