Objective of the Practice: . Creating awareness on importance of nutrition for building healthy nation 2. Need Addressed and the context : . Nutrition is an issue of survival, health and development for the present and future generations. All age groups represent National Economic Asset, hence improving nutritional status of population is imperative for National Development. But, changes in life style patterns like food habits, industrialization, technology, exercise etc all lead to different health problems in all age groups. Fast food culture and fast life left little or no time to concentrate on healthy foods, habits resulting in nutritional problems like under weight, obesity, anemia among adolescents, diabetes, heart diseases among adults.Hence there is a dire need to create awareness about health and nutrition among people, even for educated ones. To achieve this Food and Nutrition Board, Ministry of Women and Child Development, Government of India initiated National Nutrition Week (NNW) is an annual nutrition event. It is observed throughout the country from 1 to 7 September every year. The basic objective of this annual event is to intensifyawareness on the importance of nutrition for health which has an impact on development, productivity, economic growth and ultimately National development. At the same time it is the responsibility of education institutes to create awareness on health and nutritional aspects for better community. 3. The Practice: . Nutrition plays an active role in our life starting from conception to old age. Child born underweight have impaired immune function and increased risk of diseases such as diabetes and heart diseases in their later life. Malnourished children tend to have lower IQ and impaired cognitive ability, thus affecting their school performance and then productivity in their later life.

As a part of National Nutrition week celebrations the department organized an outreach programme at Phirangipurammandal in collaboration with ICDS department on Awareness on Millets for better nutrition among rural women. The programme was about popularization of millets in rural community as most of the millets are locally available and have many nutritional values but people are not aware of their nutritional importance. Further millets play vital role in preventing anemia, constipation, osteo problems that are commonly faced by pregnant women. Hence awareness in most convincing manner is crucial. To serve this purpose our students conducted method demonstration on various millet based recepies like mixed millet porridge, millet dry fruit laddu, etc. 4. Evidence of Success: .
