Since its inception, the Department has been nurturing competent professionals equipped with scientific knowledge, practical skills, and ethical values to meet the growing demands of the healthcare, food service, and nutrition sectors.

         Nutrition is the science of food and its relationship to health, emphasizing the intake of nutrients required for growth, development, disease prevention, and overall well-being.
