About Us

Under CSIR Integrated Skill Initiative, the institute conducts around 25 regular training programs/Skill Development Programs/Short Term Courses every year encompassing all the major areas in Food Science and Technology. These courses are of short duration, but intensive and packed with lectures and demonstrations. The faculty members for the courses have vast experience in specific areas of Food Science and Technology. The demonstrations and practical classes are conducted in the state-of-the-art laboratories and pilot plants of CSIR-CFTRI. Successful participants will be given participation certificate at the end of the course. Due to its short duration and condensed, focussed and capsulated syllabus, the short-term courses are well received by students, academicians, employed and entrepreneurs who are unable to spare more time.
