Dean Message
I am delighted to share that by the grace and mercy of Allah Almighty and with the kindness of Hon'ble Vice Chancellor Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan, Prof. Dr. Mansoor Akbar Kundi, an independent *Faculty of Food Science & Nutrition* has been established in the University. Indeed, this step of the worthy Vice Chancellor will turn up as a potential means to improve food and nutrition situation in the region. The Vice-Chancellor deserves huge applause and a sincere word of appreciation for this professional contribution. The addition of a faculty to the array of existing faculties at BZU will add value to the university's professional stature. I am confident that the worthy Vice-Chancellor would continue to support the nascent faculty with the same level of kindness to ensure its growth and expansion. It is also pertinent to mention here that the teachers and the support staff of the Institute of Food Science and Nutrition also played a key role in achieving this goal. I hope that the establishment of this faculty will not only cater for the educational needs of the local folk in the realm of Food and Nutrition but will also improve the nutritional health of the people and enhance the prestige of the university at large.
