Goals

I Avani Mekala have completed my Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition from Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences (Kochi), and Bachelors of Science in Applied Nutrition & Public Health from Osmania University. In the next 1 year I see myself pursuing PhD in the field of Public Health Nutrition mostly in tribal areas. Most of the children are malnourished with lack of behavioral, knowledge and basic needs of the food. As right nutrition can help reviving not only the patients but also each and every human being from their ailments supporting the physiological interventions as food is the only fuel to the body. If given right food it’s the best place to live otherwise surviving is difficult. In the present scenario prevention is better than cure. Even in COVID –19 pandemic, people are asking for right nutrition, eating healthy plays a major role. So for a human body giving right food is the proper therapy for preventing any disease and also giving it a good boost of immunity. In the span of 3 years I would like to build my career in such a way that a healthy and nutritious product should be available for all the people at a minimal price so that it can impact the malnourishment existing in the country. So, for building such a career I have already started my journey with doing RD internship which will give me a license for giving specific diets for specific diseases like functional foods or super foods which are playing a major role in today’s diet. Reaching out to people in the rural areas and also creating awareness about diet is also very important as still in villages people believe in taboos which is one of the main reason of malnourishment, so I want to work in that area of public health.
