Dear All,

Greetings from the *National Institute of Nutrition* *(NIN), Hyderabad. *NIN
is the premier nutrition research institute in the country working under
the aegis of Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India. It
is my pleasure to inform you that NIN has reached the threshold of its 100
years milestone (1918 - 2018 <1918%200%202018>). The long journey from a
single room laboratory in Conoor, Tamil Nadu to its picturesque abode in
Hyderabad, Telangana State is dotted with several interesting turns and
events. Throughout its long history, NIN has been driving policy actions
for improving nutrition outcomes in the country.



We are commemorating the NIN centenary year (2017 -18) under the theme
“Empowering the nation through nutrition”. The centenary celebrations
started with the first International Conference “Nutrition before, beyond
and during first 1000 days of life-Evidence and Action” held during
November 28 - 30, 2017 followed by many other activities. At the close of
the Centenary year we are hosting the second International conference
*“Aligning **food systems for healthy diets and improved nutrition” *November
11 – 13, 2018. The Centenary conference aims to explore policies and
programme options for shaping the food systems for healthy diets and
improved nutrition, based on country experiences and challenges.



I take the pleasure of inviting you to join the second NIN International
conference and present your work to the International audience. A special
feature is the "Young People Unique Idea" session open to young researchers
below the age of 35. *NIN Centenary travel grant* will be available to
