ABOUT DT. HAMITA PREET KAUR

A motivated, resilient, and goal-oriented nutrition professional with a B.Sc. in Nutrition and Dietetics and an M.Sc. in Home Science (Foods and Nutrition), committed to applying scientific principles of dietetics and food science to improve health and well-being. My academic and professional experiences reflect a blend of clinical, industrial, and research-based expertise in the field of nutrition.During my 45-day internship in the Dietetics Department at PGIMER, Chandigarh, I gained extensive clinical exposure across various specialized units including the Surgical Wards, Advanced Trauma Centre, AKU (Nephrology), and Private Wards. My responsibilities involved assisting in patient counseling, dietary assessment, trolly rounds, preparation of individualized diet plans, and formulation of renal and diabetic diet slips. These experiences strengthened my practical understanding of therapeutic nutrition, patient-centered care, and interdepartmental coordination within a hospital setting.Additionally, I completed a one-month internship at Verka Milk Plant, Mohali, where I worked in the Quality Control and Production Section. There, I learned about pasteurization, microbial testing, packaging, and hygiene management, gaining firsthand knowledge of food safety standards, quality control measures, and production protocols aligned with FSSAI regulations.My research endeavors include presenting and publishing papers such as “Utilization of Germinated Pearl Millet and Foxtail Millet for Nutrient-Rich Laddu” and “Sensory Evaluation of Biscuits Enriched with Orange (Citrus sinensis) By-Products”, the latter published as a book chapter (ISBN: 97••••••••26). I also co-authored a Hindi chapter “योग और पोषण: सम्पूर्ण कल्याण की एक समग्र दृष्टि” (ISBN: 97••••••••37), exploring the intersection of yoga and nutrition.Certified in nutrition counseling, extrusion technology, and food analysis and quality control, I aim to leverage my interdisciplinary background to advance evidence-based nutrition, sustainable food innovation, and public health outcomes.
