Profile of the Department: 

The Department was established in 1985 offering an undergraduate program in Nutrition,  Food Service Management and Dietetics and has crossed a span of 36 years since its inception.  The decade of 2000-2010 witnessed a milestone in the Department with the introduction of  M.Sc. Foods and Nutrition in the year 2003, B.Sc Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics in the year  2005 and M.Phil Food and Nutrition in the year 2009 under the self-supporting stream. The program was conceived with the objective to create, deliver and develop the skills and core  competencies of the students in relation to nutrition and its application in the health care and  hospitality sectors. The curriculum is envisaged to enhance the students potential and  transform in the young women to grow into citizens with moral and social responsibility  besides providing employability/career opportunities This is achieved through internships and  extension activities as part of outreach programs in reputed institutions such as Sri  Ramachandra Medical College & Research Institute, Sundaram Medical Foundation and  AGADA built into the curriculum. A considerable percentage of students (about 50%) pursue  higher education in central universities and reputed colleges. About 35% are employed as  Dietitians in corporate hospitals and health clinics / fitness centres.  

The department offered a UGC-sponsored career oriented (one year program) Add-On  course titled Technology of Food Processing and Baking for a term of five years (from 2012  to 2017) to the undergraduate students of various disciplines free of cost. A full-fledged UGC  funded bakery unit has been established to enhance entrepreneurship skills amidst students. 

The Department also manages and operates an in- house crèche which caters to the needs of  staff and student’s children and occasionally neighbouring colleges also.
