## Accreditation and recognition, stated precisely

NNWA's position on recognition is set out below in the same words the academy uses on its own recognitions and regulatory-compliance pages. Nothing beyond this is claimed.

- **NCrF Level-4, via Medhavi Skills University.** The National Credit Framework (NCrF) Level-4 skill certificate is issued by Medhavi Skills University, Sikkim, an NCVET-approved Awarding Body, to learners who complete a flagship programme.
- **ISO 9001:2015 certified.** NNWA runs as an ISO 9001:2015-certified academy, in association with Medhavi Skills University, Sikkim.
- **MSME registered.** Registered as a Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise with the Government of India.
- **YCB-aligned yoga programmes.** Where applicable, NNWA's yoga programmes are aligned to the Yoga Certification Board (YCB) syllabus.

**What NNWA does not claim.** NNWA programmes are private skill-enhancement courses and diplomas. They are not UGC- or NCAHP-recognised degrees, and completing one does not confer the statutory title of Registered Dietitian or any equivalent licensed clinical role.

**How to verify the university partnership.** NNWA is an accredited training partner of Medhavi Skills University, Sikkim, recognised under section 2(f) of the UGC Act, 1956 and approved by NCVET as an Awarding Body. The partnership is listed on the university's own directory at https://awardingbody.msu.edu.in/our-partners under the name “National Nutrition and Wellness Academy”. The award covers NNWA's flagship programmes only; other short courses carry NNWA's own certificate. Full detail: https://nnwa.in/affiliation/

## Nutrition training by profession

NNWA publishes 85 profession-specific guides at https://nnwa.in/case-studies/, one for each occupation, covering where nutrition genuinely touches that job, what the regulator permits, and which NNWA course fits. Each carries statistics from named public sources (ICMR-NIN, ICMR-INDIAB, NFHS-5, WHO). The learner named in each guide is an illustrative composite, disclosed as such on the page; the profession-level content and every statistic are real.

- **ANM (Auxiliary Nurse Midwife)** (Healthcare & Allied Health): An ANM already runs antenatal checks, anaemia counselling and growth monitoring. What a nutrition diploma adds to the sub-centre, and what it leaves exactly where it was. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/anm-nurse/
- **ASHA Worker** (Healthcare & Allied Health): An accredited social health activist sees malnutrition earlier than anyone in the system. What formal nutrition study adds to that role, and what a certificate honestly cannot change about it. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/asha-worker/
- **Ayurveda Practitioner** (Healthcare & Allied Health): Ayurveda has advised on ahara and pathya for centuries. What modern nutrition science genuinely adds to a BAMS practice, where the two systems meet, and what a certificate does not confer. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/ayurveda-practitioner/
- **Counselling Psychologist** (Healthcare & Allied Health): Food comes up in a counselling room constantly and most psychologists are trained to leave it alone. What a nutrition qualification adds to a private practice, and the cases it makes clearer rather than closer. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/counselling-psychologist/
- **Dentist** (Healthcare & Allied Health): Caries, erosion and bleeding gums are dietary problems that present as dental ones. What a nutrition qualification adds to a dental practice, and where a dentist's scope still ends. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/dentist/
- **Dialysis Technician** (Healthcare & Allied Health): Dialysis patients ask about water, potassium and fish in the chair, not in the consulting room. What changes when the technician sitting with them for four hours knows the answers. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/dialysis-technician/
- **Homeopathy Practitioner** (Healthcare & Allied Health): A homeopathic case history records cravings, aversions, thirst and appetite in unusual detail, then uses none of it as intake. What nutrition study adds to a BHMS practice, and what it does not. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/homeopathy-doctor/
- **Hospital Administrator** (Healthcare & Allied Health): A hospital administrator signs the catering contract, supervises the diet kitchen and owns staff health, with no training in any of it. What a nutrition qualification changes, and what it leaves with the clinicians. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/hospital-administrator/
- **Medical Laboratory Technician** (Healthcare & Allied Health): A laboratory technician sees the country's nutrition data before anyone else in the building, and is not permitted to interpret a word of it. What nutrition training adds inside that boundary, and what it never touches. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/lab-technician/
- **Naturopathy Practitioner** (Healthcare & Allied Health): Naturopathy prescribes food before it prescribes anything else, then hands the same protocol to every guest. What formal nutrition study adds to a nature cure practice, and where the honest limits sit. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/naturopathy-practitioner/
- **Nursing Student** (Healthcare & Allied Health): A nursing student in uniform gets asked about food long before qualifying. Why a short nutrition certificate fits the second and third years, and what it does not do. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/nursing-student/
- **Occupational Therapist** (Healthcare & Allied Health): Occupational therapy already owns the mechanics of eating, from adapted cutlery to a child's mealtime seating. What changes when the therapist also understands what is on the plate. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/occupational-therapist/
- **Operation Theatre Technician** (Healthcare & Allied Health): An OT technician sees the fasting board, the cancelled diabetic and the patient who comes back thinner. What a nutrition qualification adds to eight years of theatre work. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/operation-theatre-technician/
- **Optometrist** (Healthcare & Allied Health): An optometrist often finds the retinopathy before anyone has explained the diagnosis. What changes when the person holding the fundus camera can also answer the question that follows it. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/optometrist/
- **Pharmacist** (Healthcare & Allied Health): A retail pharmacy counter is where most Indian families ask their first diet question. What a pharmacist can properly answer with nutrition training, and the line a pharmacist must not cross. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/pharmacist/
- **Physiotherapist** (Healthcare & Allied Health): Rehabilitation depends on tissue that has to be built from food, yet BPT training barely touches diet. What a physiotherapist gains from formal nutrition study, and where the boundary sits. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/physiotherapist/
- **Radiology Technician** (Healthcare & Allied Health): Fatty liver, visceral fat, bone density and wasting between staging scans are daily sights in an imaging department. What it takes for the person running the scanner to move into nutrition work. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/radiology-technician/

- **Food Technologist** (Food, Kitchen & Hospitality): A product developer writes the nutrition panel and then watches marketing write the claim above it. What nutrition study adds at the bench, and what it still will not let a label say. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/food-technologist/

What nutrition training adds, and what a government scheme keeps deciding for her. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/anganwadi-worker/

- **Self-Help Group Member** (Community, Home & Public Service): Six years of weekly meetings, savings and small loans have already taught an SHG member costing, discipline and how a village hears advice.
