<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Food processing sector in India is still in a nascent stage and deserves better attention from the government in enhancing the capacity in this sector in coming years. NIFTEM will be an initiative in that direction giving boost to this sector by means of technological and scientific interventions and by enhancing capacity through its traditional and non-traditional educational and research programs relating to food sciences and allied disciplines. Based on the intensive interaction with food industry professionals, a clear need was felt to produce leaders/managers in this emerging sector as there is clear shortfall in the number of food science and food technology professionals. Taking cognizance of incremental need of managers and early career professionals, new focus on food science and technology research in public system, need for professionals for regulatory management, outreach etc, NIFTEM will try to fill the demand supply gap.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">NIFTEM will be the first national research centre in food science and food technology that will provide experiential learning with strong industry linkages.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is estimated that NIFTEM will produce approximately 1000 students and entrepreneurs, incubate about 250 businesses, undertake 300 research projects, 550 short term courses and 450 projects related to food standards setting and testing and will have about 12000 annual subscriptions for its journals by 2015. In addition, industry will benefit through Continuing Education initiatives, access to patents that are generated within NIFTEM, and market intelligence provided by NIFTEM. The institute will be generating over 100 patents cumulatively over next five years benefiting small and medium scale food industry and food processing clusters in rural India.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In order to cater to the needs of the food industry (large scale, medium, small & micro scale enterprises) NIFTEM is in the process of setting up five Pilot Plants within its campus covering the following sectors.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fruits and vegetable products.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Meat and poultry products.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Milk and dairy products.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cereal, grain and bakery products.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ready to eat Indian traditional food products.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Pilot Plants will serve as incubation centres for the existing food industries as well as the new entrepreneurs to incubate their ideas and also to facilitate in providing ‘Hands on Training’ to students, progressive farmers as well as the potential entrepreneurs. The efforts would be towards developing new technologies and ultimately to commercialise them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In this regard a global tender was floated for appointment of a Project Management Agency for designing, furnishing and procurement of equipments on a turn-key basis from concept to commissioning. In response, two bids were received and the technical presentations were conducted. Since out of the two bidders, only one bidder was present and gave the presentation, the tender had to be cancelled and re-tendering has been done.</span></div>

catalyzing the growth of food processing industries. The Institute is offering
B. Tech., M. Tech. and Ph. D. degree programmes in Food Technology and Management
and at the same time taking up initiatives for research and extension
activities. For designing the curriculum of the proposed B. Tech. and M. Tech.
courses, a Task Force of subject experts was constituted. They prepared a
detailed syllabus which was sent for an extensive review to about 250
distinguished professionals in the area of food science and technology both at
the national as well as the international level. The results of the same have
now been compiled and inducted as per the suggestions and comments proposed by
the reviewers from the food processing industry, as well the academic
institutes. A unique flavour of the curriculum is the blend of technology and
management which is reflected in the undergraduate and post graduate programmes
