Promotion
of Education and Research in Food &
Nutrition has been one of the primary
objectives of the Association and is
carried out in many ways. The Association
has instituted Doctoral Research Grant
so every year one student enrolled for
Ph.D. in Food and/or Nutrition subject
will get support for his/her Ph.D. programme.
The Association has also been giving
Loan Scholarships to students doing
undergraduate studies in Food and Nutrition
subjects. The students will be given
support to pay fees etc. for three years
and after the student completes the
studies and gets employed, the scholarship
amount may be returned in instalments.
This would help support more students
every year.
