Where is the national institute of nutrition located?

The National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) is a premier Indian public health and nutrition research center located in Hyderabad, Telangana [t1][t2]. Established in 1918 by Sir Robert McCarrison in Coonoor, Tamil Nadu, it was later shifted to the campus of Osmania University in Hyderabad in 1958 [t8]. It functions under the aegis of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Ministry of Health and Family Welfare [t2][t7]. The institute is situated near the Tarnaka flyover and is a landmark for nutritional research in India, focusing on clinical nutrition, community studies, and laboratory research to address public health challenges [t3][t8][t9]. While other cities like Mysuru host the Central Food Technology Research Institute (CFTRI) [c1], the NIN is specifically headquartered in Hyderabad [t10].
