In connection with National Nutrition Month, observed from September 1-30, the Department of Nutrition and Health Education had set up food stalls, focusing on the theme “Nutritious Diets for everyone.” 19 final year NHE students participated in this event.
The initiative aimed to promote healthy eating habits and raise awareness about the importance of incorporating nutritious snacks into daily diets. Final year students prepared a variety of healthy snacks using locally available, nutrient-rich ingredients, such as whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
The snacks were sold on campus, and the event encouraged the community to explore tasty, balanced alternatives to processed and junk foods. Informational brochures on the benefits of a nutritious diet were displayed to spread awareness. The event successfully highlighted the importance of making nutritious food accessible to all, reinforcing the message of inclusive, healthy eating habits for people of all ages and backgrounds.
