The mission of the Department of Nutrition at Bankura Christian College is to spread knowledge about improvement of human health by living a nutritious healthy lifestyle. The Department strives to accomplish this goal not only through the quality educational lectures among the students within the classroom but also occasionally arranges some community health survey in nearby villages or city areas of Bankura district, which gives a better understanding to both the leaers of the Department and the common people that how our diet influences health at molecular levels and population levels, and why the development of nutritional strategies are essential in human health.

Identification of the nutritional needs and problems through community assessment and mobilization of resources can minimize the nutritional health problems of our society at all levels, viz. individual, family, community and National level.

In developing human resources in the field of nutrition, food science and dietetics the Department of Nutrition at Bankura Christian College begins its jouey from the academic session 2017-18 under Bankura University.
