PREAMBLE
Food processing being a vital sector has a critical role in achieving the overall economic growth. In view of the national importance, the sector has set an aspiration in achieving the vision 2020 by the way of tripling the food processing levels to 20 percent. So as to realize the aspiration, the sector is poised for enhancing capacity levels and investments in the industry and R&D in food processing.
Furthermore, the sector needs to equip with 1.7 million skilled manpower as production managers, QC and R&D, supply chain and logistics, regulatory and legal experts.
In view of the vast opportunities in Food processing and requirement of skilled manpower, the National Institute of Food Technology, entrepreneurship and management proposes a short course on Advances in Drying of Foods as part of capacitive building initiative.
