We feel that dining etiquette is a topic, which may or may not be taught at home and is not a part of regular school curriculum.”

Some of the topics that are covered include basic table setting, posture while eating, correct placement of napkin, courtesies that should be extended, buffet manners and faux pas to avoid on the dining table.”
The presentation given by Namita Jain was in the form of a short animated film, which makes it young adult friendly and is at the same time very relevant to the young generation. At the end of the film, there is a short quiz, which is interactive – aiming to consolidate what the children have learnt through the film, for which recommended age for viewing is 5 upwards.
