Department of Home Economics came into existence in the year 1932. In 1997 Home Economics Department became the College of Home Science & Women's Development and later on renamed as Halina School of Home Science.

The School works towards the objective of imparting Home Science education to promote cognitive and effective learning among students for technology transport to both urban and rural families within the culturally relevant conditions and eco-based farm household system. It aims to strengthen teaching- extension-research linkages through family and community focused research for holistic improvement to enhance the quality of life of rural and urban families at micro, meso and macro levesl of the society, with added emphasis on promoting professionalism among students.

The four departments (Foods and Nutrition, Clothing and Textiles, Family Resource Management and Human Development & Family Studies) have a great deal to offer to those who are interested in higher education in the field of Home Science. The department offers M.Sc and Ph.D programmes in addition to the undergraduate programmes in Home Science as well as a Diploma course in Fashion Technology.

Ever since the four years B.Sc Home Science Honours programme has been introduced, pioneering strides have been made in promoting professional education for students in the form of elective packages in all the four areas of specialization in Home Science. In addition, the students also undergo In-plant training/Internship and Rural Awareness Work Experience(RAWE) keeping in mind the changing needs and times of the era.

The Halina School of Home Science (earlier the Dept. of Home Economics) is about 66 years old and one of the oldest in imparting Home Science education in the country. The School offers immense opportunities through its various departments.


Department of Foods and Nutrition
