Dear Student,

Welcome to the Certificate Programme in Food & Nutrition offered by Indira Gandhi National
OpenUniversitywill naturally be curious to know something about it. Let us, therefore, acquaint
.you with the University-and its system of working.

1. INTRODUCTION TO THE UNIVERSITY

Indira Gandhi National Open University was established in September, 1985, under an Act of
Parliament. Its aim is to develop a flexible education system in the country. The primary emphasis
is on relevance of the courses to out present day society, innovative methods of teaching, cost
effectiveness, removal of rigidity and involvement of all sections of society in the educational
system. Thus, you see, it is a University with a difference.

The significant features ofIndira Gandhi National Open University are:

• Relaxed entryrules;

• study according tothe. student's own pace and convenience;

• flexibility in choosing a combination of courses from a wide range-of disciplines; and

• use of modem educational and communication technology, including radio, TV, audio and
-video tapes. .

.The University functions with the. objective of:

• providing opportunities for higher education to large segments of the population and thereby
. seeking to achieve the educationalwell-being ofthecommunity.

• .providing access to higher education to the disadvantaged groups-and individuals opening up

opportunities for upgrading knowledge and skills:

• bringing higher education to the doorsteps of all those who look for it:

• providing high quality education at the University level:

• promoting both national integration and integrated development of the human personality.

The methodology of instruction under the Open u'niversitysystem is different from the teaching
system in the conventional universities. While the lecture mode prevails in the conventional system,
the open university is a learner-oriented system. It would, therefore, require your active participation.

The open university system has come into existence due to the increased use of all open approach
in distance education where theentire operation is based on the use of multi-media learning materials.
Since itwill be a new experience for you, it is natural that you may have doubts and queries in the
beginning as well as at-different stagesof learning. At such times you may desperately need a
person who may look into your problems. Or you may feel like sending some queries/letters to
clarify your doubts. It is also possible that for some reason you may hesitate to do so.

It may therefore, give you a feeling of isolation. This Programme Guide is an attempt to help you
overcome this feeling of isolation and also answer some of your queries.

2. INTRODUCTION TO THE PROGRAMME
Eating is so much a part of life that we tend to assume that we know everything about food.
It is generally believed that provision of proper nourishment is mainly a question of income. This
is a fallacy, since nutritionally rich foods are available at a reasonable price.

Since food sustains life and accounts for a major portion of our living expenses, it will be useful
for everyone to know about:

The nutrients contained in different items of food;

The needs of the human body-in terms of various nutrients at different stages of life;

Consequences of taking more/wrong types of food;

Ways of selecting food articles, and the techniques for processing, cooking and preserving
them.

The focus of the Programme is to enable-you to [Link] best possible choice for meeting the
nutritional needs of your family. At the same time it aims at helping you choose an adequate
variety of foods to suit the taste of each individual in your family. In addition, you will learn
about the nature of food-borne diseases and the importance of good food habits in preventing
them. You will also be acquainted with schemes of quality control, consumer rights, etc.

Programme Components

The Programme consists of the following three courses:

1. You and Your Food

2. Your Food and its Utilization

3. Economics of Food

Course Structure

The basic material to be studied has been brought out in a number of Blocks, covering a few
interconnected topics. There are four Blocks for the first course, five for the second course and
three for the third course. A Block is sub-divided into a number of Units, each Unit covering'
•
a distinct topic of the subject under study. In the beginning of each Unit (Objectives of the Unit)
we list out what you are going to achieve or gain after a study of the Unit.

5. INSTRUCTIONAL SYSTEM
, The methodology of instruction in this University is different from that in the conventional
universities. The Open University System is more leaner-oriented, and the student is an
active participant in the teaching-learning process. Most of the instruction here is imparted
through distance rather than face-to-face communication.

The University follows a multimedia approach for instruction. It comprises.

• Self-instructional print material;

• Audio and video cassettes;

• Audio-video programmes transmitted through TV and Radio;

• Teleconferencing;

• Face-to-face interaction with academic counsellors at Study Centres;

• Assignments; and

• Learning from experience exercises.

5.1 Print Material

Print material is the primary form of instructional material, although there will be a few audio-
video programmes and counselling sessions in addition to the print material. Therefore, you have
to concentrate mainly on the print materials that we send you.

10
 The print material prepared by the University is self instructional in nature. Each course has been
divided into a number of Blocks (3 to 5 blocks for a 4 or 6 credit course). Each course begins
with a course introduction. It gives you a brief idea of the course under consideration. Each
Block consists of a number of U-nits (lessons). Normally, all the Units covered in one Block
have a thematic unity. The first page of each Block indicates the contents i.e., the number and
titles of the Units covered in that Block. This is followed by a brief introduction to the Block.
This Block lritroduction explains the total coverage of the Block as a whole ill well as the coverage
of each Unit in that Block.

. Each Unit is structured to facilitate self study for you. The section on Objectives briefly stateses
what we expect you to attain when you have completed the Unit. In the Introduction, there
is an attempt to create a link with the topics of the previous Units and the topic to be covered
in the present Unit. This [Link] by the main body of the Unit, which is divided into various"
sections and subsections. The section Summing Up summarizes what has been said in the whole
Unit. This 'summary enables you to recall the main points covered in the Unit. To facilitate
comprehension, important words/ terms covered in the Unit are explained in the section Glossary.

Read the Units carefully and note down the important points. You can use the space in the margin.
of the printed pages for making notes and writing your comments. While reading the Units mark
the words that you do not fully understand. Look for the meaning of such words under the section
Glossary or in a dictionary. Read the Unit again and again until you have understood the main
points. However, if you still do not understand the points, you may also try to find it in earlier
Units as it may be explained there. However, if you still do not understand something, consult
your counsellor during the face-to-face sessons at the Study Centre for clarification.

In addition to the print material, audio and video programmes j~lVebeen prepared for each course.
The audio-video material is supplementary to the printed material. Hence, we advise you to make
. use of it, as they will help you to understand the subject better. Video programmes are transmitted
by Doordarshan and IGNOU's dedicted Gyan Darshan Channel. The transmission schedule is
given in the University Newsletter which is sent to every student 3 times a year. Audio programmes '
are transmitted by AIR and Gyan Vani. -"

5.2 . Audio-Video Material

Audio-video material will not be supplied individually but will be made available for you at the
Study Centres. You can watch or listen to these prorammes
, during counselling sessions. Students
desirous of buying the audio-video tapes can procure them from the Marketing Unit, Electronic
Media Production antre, IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi-ll 0068.

5.3 Teleconferencing
To reach our students spread in different parts of the country we take the help of teleconferencing.
These sessions are conducted from Delhi. The students can attend these at the Regional Centres
and specified Study Centres of IGNOU. It is aone way video and two way audio facility. You
will be sent a schedule with topics in advance of the sessions. You can put your,problems and
questions to these experts through telephone, fax and e-mail available at receiving centres free
of cost for you. These will help you in resolving your queries related to courses and other general
information pertaining to programmes of study.

14
 o
Your study centre is normally your examination centre. Change of examination centre is permissible
in exceptional cases for which you have to make a request to: The Registrar (SR&E Division),
Indira Gandhi National Open University, Madan Garhi, New Delhi-l10068 at least one month
before the commencement ofthe examination, The request received at the Headquarters thereafter,
will not be entertained.

The Study Centre is the contact point for you. The University cannot send communication to
all the students individually. All the important communication is normally sent to the Coordinators
of the Study Centres and Regional Directors. The Coordinator would display a copy of such
important circulars/notifications on the notice board of the Study Centre for the benefit of all
the students. You are, therefore, advised to keep in touch with your Coordinator so that
you get advance information about assignments, submission of examination forms, date-
sheet, list of students admitted to a particular examination, declaration of result etc.

While communicating with the University regarding examination, please clearly write your enrolment
number and complete address. In the absence of such details, we will not be able to attend
to your problem.

The University normally may require 3 to 4 months to intimate the result of a particular term-
end examination. In the meantime, the dead line for submitting the examination form for re-
appearing in a particular course may expire. This is applicable only if one fails to get a passing
grade. In such cases, it is advisable for you to submit an examination form without waiting for
the result. Once you receive your results and .if you find that you have passed in that course,
you need not appear for that course again.

Assignments

You must have received a set of assignments for CFN for this year along with the Set of print
material" sent to you. In case you have not received it, please download the same from IGNOU
website [Link] go to the Student Zone link under this link go to Download and the
assignments. '

You have to do one assignment for each course. All the assignments will be considered
for evaluation. Thus, in the Certificate Programme you will have to work on three
assignments for three courses. This means that you have to complete three assignments
in all. All the assignments are 'Tutor Marked Assignments' (TMAs). This means that
the questions will be of the long answer, medium answer and short answer types.

Are you wondering what we expect from you in these assignments?

Assignments constitute the continuous evaluation component of a course. They can be done in
your home or work place or library or any other place you think has the right environment. .
You may consult suitable persons, books, or other sources for the completion of your assignments.
An assignment, therefore, is [Link] writing an answer book in the examination hall. It is, however,
equally important as marks are given to assignments after evaluation. As mentioned earlier, the
assignments of a course in CFN carry 30 percent weightage. The marks that 'you get in your
assignments will be counted in your final result. Therefore, you are advised to attempt your
assignments seriously.

The main purpose of assignments is to test your understanding of the learning material you receive
from the University. The information given in the printed course material is normally considered
sufficient for answering the assignments. Please do not worry about the non-availability of extra

15
reading material for working on the assignments. However, if you have easy access to other books,
you may use them. But the assignments are designed in such a way as to help you concentrate
mainly on printed course material and your personal experience .
•
Some of the assignments are knowledge based and some are of applied nature. Assignments
which are knowledge based will require you to write short answers. For answering applied type
of assignments as in the case of Practical Activities, you should apply the knowledge you have
gained by going through a Unit/Block/Course. In either case, the answers should be your
own. You must not reproduce text material as such or copy the information from other
sources. However, you can make use of the material and information you have at your disposal
in an innovative way. You can pick up ideas from whatever sources you may have. However,
plan and use them in your own words when you write the answers to the assignments.

The following guidelines have to be strictly practised when you work on the assignments:

• The answer should be precise and relevant to the question. Include appropriate examples
where you can.

,.. Keep the word-limit of the answer in mind. A slight variation in length does not matter. But
_your answer should not be too short or too lengthy. Avoid discussing minor issues at great
length. By setting, a word-limit for some of the assignments we mean to convey that 'a
reasonably adequate response can be presented within the suggested word-limit.

• The assignments you have attempted should be complete in all respects. Before submission
you should ensure that you have answered all the questions in assignments. Incomplete
responses will bring you poor marks.

• You must submit your assignments according to the schedule indicated in the assignments.
The University/Coordinator of the Study Centre has the right to reject the assignments received
after the due date. You are, therefore, advised to submit the assignments before the due
date. In case you get the assignments and study material the assignment responses should
be submitted within one month of the dare of receipt of study material and assignment or
within the due date given in this schedule whichever is later.

• For your own record, retain a copy of all the answers to assignment which you submit
.to the Coordinator of your Study Centre. If you do not get back the evaluated tutor
marked assignments within a month of their submission, please try to get them from your
•
study centre personally. This may help you to improve the answers to your future assignments.

• Maintain an account of all the corrected responses to assignments received by you after
evaluation. This will help you to correspond with the University in case any problem arises
'in future.

• If you are unable to submit the assignments or are unable to score the minimum qualifying
marks, you have to collect, attempt and submit the assignments meant for the next batch
of students. The new assignments 'can be downloaded from IGNOU website.

In case you find that the score indicated' in the assignment sheet of your assignments has
not been correctly reflected in your grade card you are advised to contact the coordinator
of your study centre with a request to forward correct authenticated award list to the Registrar
