Students gain exposure to core subjects like human nutrition, dietetics, food science, biochemistry, microbiology, public health, and therapeutic nutrition, along with emerging areas such as nutrigenomics, functional foods, and food technology.
Through its robust infrastructure—including specialized laboratories, a diet counseling lab, a resource-rich library, and smart classrooms—the department fosters experiential learning and research-driven practice. Industrial visits, hospital internships, and USR (University Social Responsibility) activities ensure students are not only industry-ready but also socially conscious.
With strong ties to national nutrition and health bodies, the department acts as a bridge between academia, healthcare, and industry. Graduates of the department are equipped to take on impactful roles in hospitals, NGOs, public health organizations, government agencies, wellness centers, and food industries.
Above all, the Department of Community Sciences is committed to nurturing future-ready professionals who can innovate, lead, and serve in the evolving landscape of health and nutrition.
