摘要

India faces a persistent triple burden of malnutrition characterized by undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and rising childhood overweight and obesity, necessitating strengthened pediatric nutrition leadership. In response, the Nutrition Chapter of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics, also known as the Pediatric and Adolescent Nutrition (PAN) Society, was established as a dedicated academic, advisory, and advocacy platform to advance evidence-based nutrition care. Since its inception, the society has organized annual national conferences (Pednutricon), consultations, workshops, and webinars to promote capacity building, research dissemination, and cross learnings. It has convened multidisciplinary expert groups that developed consensus recommendations and nationally endorsed guidelines on key issues such as unhealthy JUNC foods, vitamin D deficiency, nutritional anemia, obesity, and early growth failure. During the COVID-19 pandemic, activities successfully transitioned to virtual platforms, ensuring continued engagement. Current initiatives include structured competency-based training “NEST” and contributions in Nutrition 360-degree Pediatrics under Central IAP President Action plan 2026.
