Scientists in this dynamic field are renovating innovation in all the
extraordinary fields of Home Science i.e. Food and Nutrition, Human Development
and Family Relations, Apparel, and Textile Designing, Interior Designing and
Resource Management and a Composite stream combining all these fields of
education. The course also includes basic knowledge of Extension Education,
Economics and Entrepreneurship Development, Zoology, Botany, Physics and
Chemistry. Home Scientists utilize their skills to re-invent innovation by
transforming the ideas, attitudes, interests, and values of an individual. They
help promote the moral, familial, and spiritual aspects of family living. Finding
Way to Nutrition: It is rightly said, “The doctor of the future
will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and
prevent disease with nutrition.” Food and nutrition as a subject emphasizes ideas, interdisciplinary mindset, collaborative thinking and the commitment to
apply the knowledge to resolve various social dilemmas related to Food and
Nutrition security. Since India has long been facing a double burden of
malnutrition problem i.e. both undernutrition and over nutrition, the
specialists in this stream play a significant role in designing different
nutritional interventions to address malnutrition issues on a large scale. Not
only this, the health, physiological characteristics, nutritional requirements, and nutritional care of people belonging to various life stages and varied age
groups are also being taken care of. It is one of the most applied and
interdisciplinary subjects in our present educational system. Moreover, in the
light of changing time, trends, and rationalization, there is increased
awareness and rising concern about health and eating habits; thus the field of
nutrition and dietetics is gaining a lot of importance day by day. With each
minute, counting on another form of a disease and increasing cases of diseased
due to faulty eating habits, the role of nutritionists has increased many folds.
