A round table dedicated to improving the quality of nutrition for servicemen was held in the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan. During the meeting, a new pilot project was presented, being implemented within the law enforcement troops as part of fulfilling the поручения of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on digitalization.
The project is aimed at enhancing the quality of daily meals for servicemen, strengthening food security, ensuring transparency in canteen operations, and reducing risks associated with the human factor.
The event was attended by the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan — Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard Ansagan Baltabekov. He noted that providing servicemen with high-quality nutrition is one of the key priorities of the National Guard. It was also emphasized that the meeting addressed issues of food supply, results of canteen inspections, and current challenges in this area.
The hardware and software system is currently operating in pilot mode in military unit 5573 of the National Guard. The key feature of the project is the ability for servicemen to promptly evaluate the quality of meals through an electronic system. Using a dedicated feedback panel, assessments are instantly transmitted to food suppliers and the command.
By August of this year, it is planned to analyze the effectiveness of the system, after which the possibility of its implementation in other military units will be considered.
“This system allows us to freely express our opinion. We can immediately evaluate which dishes we liked and which we didn’t. Thanks to this, the quality of food in the canteen is noticeably improving,” said Junior Sergeant Nuraly Zhazit, a serviceman of military unit 5573.
The round table also addressed issues of food safety compliance, strengthening sanitary requirements, ensuring transparency in supplier operations, and the effective use of budget funds.
It is worth noting that today more than 7,000 National Guard servicemen ensure public order in 21 cities across the country. In addition, over 2,000 guardsmen carry out tasks related to the protection of strategically important state facilities and institutions of the penal system.
