About this Program

Food processing being a sunrise sector has a large potential for growth and employment generation in the country. However, lack of adequate skilled manpower is felt in this sector, especially with SMEs. CFTRI, a premier research institution in the area of food technology has large knowledgebase, state-of-art infrastructure and experts associated with different areas.

Though, the Institute has been catering to industries in terms of post-graduate/certificate and short-term programmes, there was no programme targeted to matriculate/unemployed youths and new entrepreneurs. It is proposed to conduct 2-3 such programmes annually to enhance the skill sets which is valued by SMEs.The areas identified are fruit and vegetable processing and bakery products. Specific skills it is proposed to impart include :
* Preparation of select fruit products such as osmodried fruits, jam, sauces, ketchup
* Preparation of select bakery products such as bread, bun, cookies, cakes, rolls and puffs.

This course is suitable for unemployed youth who wish to venture into bakery and fruit processing area and also people working in tiny and small industries and would like to enhance their skill in the area of processing.

The three day course is proposed to be conducted at CSIR-CFTRI, with a nominal fee of Rs. 2000-2500.

Prior to initiating a such a course, it is intended to carry out a market survey and we invite you to participate in the survey with your valuable inputs.
