Interactive Research School for Health Affairs (IRSHA) has focused on crucial role of Omega-3 fatty acid in human health today more particularly mother and child health. Realizing the extraordinary importance of omega-3 fatty acid and the deficiency of omega-3 fatty acid, a division “ Center for innovation in Nutrition” created within IRSHA focuses its research “ to BRING BACK OMEGA-3 FATTY ACID INTO FOOD CHAIN.

Center For Innovation In Nutrition, Health & Disease Research (CINHD)

The prime aim of this research center is to provide disease preventing measures through nutrition. CINHD is a platform to research and develop ideas, to effectively tackle problems in Nutrition Health and Disease, into innovative solutions. We believe that nutrition is the key to health. Moden diet is deficient of Omega 3 fatty acid (essential polyunsaturated fatty acid) and is responsible for increase in incidences of various degenerative disease like heart attack, diabetes, arthritis etc. Hence to bring back Omega 3 in food chain, we have resourced Omega 3 from Flaxseed which is a richest vegetarian sourve of Omega 3 (ALA-Alfa Linolenic Acid). With the support of ICAR/NAIP World Bank assisted research projects, since last decade we have developed various value addition innovative products derived form Flaxseed.

In order to further validate such promising innovations, antoher unit has been established under the name:REAL WORLD NUTRITION LABORATORY FOUNDATION (RWNLF)

ICAR (AICRP) Linseed Value Addition Center AT Bharati Vidyapeeth University.

In order to validate the innovations, the technologies developed by Center of Innovations in Nutrition” in IRSHA, Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) awarded two world Bank assisted major projects under its “NATIONAL AGRICULURAL INNOVATION PROJECTS”.

1. Sustainable Rural Livelihood Security for the Backward Districts of Maharashtra.
2. Linseed Value Addition for Profitability.

These projects lasted seven years from 2007 to 2014. The work enabled us to validate our Flax Biovillage concept and establish Backward linkage with linseed growing farmers and validate the omega-3 products consumer acceptability by test marketing through associated Industrial partner. The project ended on March 31,2014.

In recognition to our outstanding work ICAR has granted Baharati Vidyapeeth University “ICAR (AICRP) Linseed Value Addition Center” for planning the expansion of the work to rest of the ICAR linseed centers in different parts of the country.

We continued the initiative consolidated in ICAR projects at Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University by establishing a not for profit company "REAL WORLD NUTRITION LABORATORY FOUNDATION".
