Scheduled to complete her master’s degree in 2004, Ms. Goyal has developed and conducted nutrition education programs for pregnant women of mobile crèches using a variety of communication skills. She has also performed extensive fieldwork in maternal and child health, and child welfare, and has completed a six-week curriculum in medicine at the Department of Social & Preventive Medicine at S.N.

Affiliated with the University of Delhi, it is recognized for imparting quality higher education to women through undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate courses in multidimensional disciplines.
