Project Work

Project work can be defined as a method of learning that involves learning through tangible means like doing individual research and presenting it in a certain way. It inculcates, promotes and upholds the principles of learning through experience and experimentation. Project work in the field of nutrition plays a vital role in advancing our understanding of various nutritional aspects and it involves conducting surveys to gather primary data.

These surveys can be instrumental in exploring specific topics related to nutrition, such as dietary habits, nutrient intake, or factors influencing food choices. By collecting data directly from individuals through surveys, researchers can obtain unique insights and perspectives that contribute to the existing body of knowledge. Additionally, survey-based research allows students to assess trends and analyze correlations that would be helpful for preparing a therapeutic diet plan, food content, recipes, meal patterns and clinical aspect in the field of Nutrition & Dietetics.

These projects will give an insight into the clinical and therapeutic aspect of nutrition and dietetics, it would be a great opportunity for the students to gain knowledge and be a part of changing patterns in the current scenario in the clinical field of nutrition.
