The Dar-Ul-Shifa Hospital and UCW observed “Nutrition Expo
2024” on Tuesday, May 07, 2024.
The purpose of this event was to spread awareness among the
students and faculty about the importance of good Nutrition. People nowadays,
especially the young generation, face a lot of health problems mostly because
of a weak knowledge of a healthy diet. The craze about having a fit and slim
body has led the young generation toward a state of weak physical health.
The organizer of the event, Dr. Naseem Rafiq, Principal UCW
found it important to enlighten the students about a healthy diet plan to keep
them not only healthy but also fit in all respects.
Various stalls in this regard were arranged including food
stalls (most of them home made), stalls of natural processed foods, Arts and
craft stalls and stalls of medical consultants.
Prof. Dr. Zahir Shah, Dean Faculty of Social Sciences
honored the occasion as Chief Guest. After the inauguration the guests visited
the stalls and appreciated the efforts of the participants. The guests and
visitors pressed on the need for such events for a healthy generation.
