Overview
The Department of Food and Nutrition was the first Post-Graduate Department of Lady Irwin College. It has come a long way since its inception in 1958 with a high standard of academic and infrastructural development. Today it offers M.Sc. in Food and Nutrition in three areas of specialization, namely, Clinical Nutrition, Public Health Nutrition, and Food Science and Processing and a one-year Post-Graduate Diploma in Dietetics and Public Health Nutrition with a 3-month internship in the Dietetics Department of a hospital. The Master’s programme is further strengthened by a six-week summer placement in different organizations such as NFI, FRAC, AIIMS, CFTRI, NIPCCD, USAID, NDRI, Public Health Foundation of India, DIPAS, Centre for Community Medicine, AIIMS, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, National Nutritional Rehabilitation Training and Resource Centre, to name a few. In addition, it offers Ph.D. programmes in all these areas of specialization. B.Sc. (Hons) Food Technology course was started in Lady Irwin College in July 2017. Before that in 2013, the Department had also offered a B.Tech. in Food Technology after AICTE approval. A batch of 133 students had completed the course.
The excellent academic programme of the Department is enriched by the laboratory experience, as well as community outreach activities, supported by easy access to a Department library, computers, and other necessary facilities. The different courses have been expanded and diversified to meet the emerging needs and challenges in the field of Food and Nutrition. This has been achieved through not only course work but with emphasis given to research, community work focusing on capacity building of underprivileged sections of the population, seminars, internship/training in hospitals, food industries, and related organizations, educational tours, conferences, and workshops.
Lady Irwin College is an empanelled training partner under the Food Safety Training and Certification initiative of FSSAI since 30th June 2017.
