Nutrition is the science concerned with the utilization of food by an organism. As we know food is one of the basic necessities for life that nourishes our body.

This course aims to develop an understanding of the principles of nutrition and enables students to scientifically evaluate the links between diet, health & disease. With the huge popularity of the subject due to its practical aspect and good job prospects, the department has been established.

Our vision:

Food & Nutrition is a multidisciplinary subject. The department strives to provide an impressive academic ambiance to help the students learn the subject and excel as a professional in the future.

The study of nutrition is critical to personal and public health because the food we eat affects our quality of life – our minds, bodies, and overall health.

As we all know, The famous quote by Greek physician Hippocrates, “Our food should be  our medicine and our medicine should be our food”.

This course aims to educate our students on nutrition through high-quality, easy-to-understand materials. There are many different options for careers after completing the course. Through research, outreach, and experiential learning, students have many opportunities to prepare themselves for life after graduation.
