Our Catering Services

The Institute of Rural Development Planning (IRDP) provides a commercialized cafeteria system where students are required to make separate payments for meals, independent of their general tuition and accommodation fees. This arrangement ensures that food services are efficiently managed and tailored to individual student needs.

Due to the absence of cooking facilities in campus hostels, students are strictly prohibited from preparing meals within their accommodations. This policy is in place to maintain safety, hygiene, and the overall well-being of all residents on campus.

IRDP operates four well-maintained cafeterias—three located at the main campus in Dodoma and one at the Mwanza campus, which serves students in that region. These cafeterias offer a full range of daily meals at subsidized rates, ensuring affordability. All meals are paid for directly at the cafeteria counters, allowing students flexibility and access to nutritious food throughout their academic journey.
