ICDS Centre Visit and Community Service Activity

The Department of Food and Nutrition, Hiralal Mazumdar Memorial College for Women, organized an educational field visit to the ICDS Centre, Chinikuthi, Alambazar, on 24th June 2026 as part of the practical curriculum of the 6th Semester Food and Nutrition Major students.

During the visit, the students actively participated in assessing the nutritional and health status of the children enrolled as beneficiaries of the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) programme. Anthropometric measurements, including height and weight, were recorded, and clinical assessments were conducted to identify any visible signs of nutritional deficiencies and health-related concerns.

The activity provided the students with valuable hands-on experience in community nutrition assessment and enabled them to apply their theoretical knowledge in a real-life public health setting. Through direct interaction with children and ICDS functionaries, the students gained a deeper understanding of child growth monitoring, nutritional surveillance, and the role of ICDS in promoting child health and nutrition.

This field visit also served as an important community service initiative, fostering social responsibility and encouraging students to contribute to the well-being of vulnerable populations. Such activities help bridge the gap between academic learning and community engagement, while emphasizing the importance of early detection of malnutrition and timely nutritional intervention for ensuring healthy growth and development among children.

The Department remains committed to promoting experiential learning and community outreach activities that enhance students’ professional competencies and strengthen their commitment to public health nutrition.
