It has the potential to make learning about nutrition more interesting, informative, enjoyable, exciting and effective.

As part of a community nutrition education program, nutrition education material in the form of CD-Rom was developed keeping in view the updated scientific information. The identified areas for development of CD-Rom included balanced diet, classification of foods based on their functions, nutritional significance of nutrients, therapeutic information, importance of physical exercises and dietary guidelines for Indians. The study demonstrated that nutrition and health related messages incorporated in the digital nutrition education material successfully transmitted to the target group of adults.
