Home Science Education was initially designed and structured around the urban home makers and her family and community. With the advent of Agricultural Universities, the focus of Home Science was shifted to the rural family with emphasis on intrafamily resources, since rural families are composite and integrated units which function as both consumption and production units. The curricula was thus formulated in this dimension and appropriately implemented.
The decade 1990-2000 witnessed application oriented education, to transform the role of students from job seekers to job providers, keeping in view the fast changing demands of the community. This decade laid a foundation for many educational reforms like Rural Home Science Work Experience Programme (RHWEP) in villages, skill and entrepreneurial oriented teaching, four year duration for UG Programme, computer aided learning and internship in respective reputed institutions for hands-on training and the faculty experienced and projected a Mission – Oriented zeal and commitment to work.
