India is currently going through a rapid socio- economic, geographical, health and nutritional transition. The rising prevalence of non- communicable diseases, nutritional deficiency disorders and lower immune function which are linked to faulty lifestyle and imbalanced dietary intake highlights the role of dietitians for an early and appropriate nutrition intervention to keep diseases at bay. Now, with the dominance of Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) , leadership of dietitians in the battle against COVID-19 for improving nutritional and health status has been sought more in India. Owing to the fact that in the today’s digital world, overabundant confusing diet related information is available in plenty in social media the evidence based nutrition information based on scientific acumen is required. Therefore, the role of dietitians in India is getting more strengthened in multi-faceted settings in health care sectors from modulating health and well being to preventing malnutrition in critical care units for improving overall nutritional status in the best interests of the society as a whole.
