May 16, 2023

CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), Mysuru, sees that regular training programmes are much needed for skill development for entrepreneurs and students among others.
 
Training programmes allow participants to keep pace with the technology advances as food entrepreneurs and industry workforce need to align with the changes in the area of advances in  knowledge and skilling required.
 
In this regard, CSIR-CFTRI is organising around 25 regular training programmes/Skill Development Programmes/Short Term Courses in this financial year under CSIR Integrated Skill Initiative, 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. These courses will be held from 3rd Week of May 2023 onwards and will end during third week of January 2024 in different time intervals.
 
The demonstrations and practical classes are conducted in the state-of-the-art laboratories and pilot plants of CSIR-CFTRI. Training includes theory and hands-on practical sessions on: Food Safety Issues; Paddy and Rice Processing; Animal Cell Culture; Liquid Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry (LC -MS); Flour Milling Baking and Confectionary Technology; Fumigation and Pest Management; Rodent Management;  Electrical Safety in Food Processing Industry; Molecular Biology; Post- Harvest Technologies for Fruits and Vegetables; Grain Processing; Spice Processing; Sensory Analysis; Probiotic Dairy Product Development; Food Analysis; Food Packaging; Edible Oil Extraction.
 
Successful participants will be given participation certificate at the end of the course.  Due to its short duration and condensed, focused and capsulated syllabus, the short-term courses are well received by students, academicians, employed and entrepreneurs who are unable to spare more time.  At the same time, these programmes are extremely beneficial for unemployed youth or entrepreneurial aspirants to establish their startup venture based on food processing. 
 
The Institute is a Training Partner (TP) for conducting Skill Development Programs (SDPs) aligned with National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) under Skill India Mission of Government of India for the skills like Baking Technician/Operative (FIC/Q5005), Food Microbiologist (FIC/Q7603) and Spice Processing Technician (FIC/Q8502).
 
Academic Institutions/Government Departments/Industry/FPOs can contact CFTRI for custom made programmes exclusively designed for their students/staff/sponsored-participants in the area of food processing.
 
CSIR-CFTRI has trained nearly 2,800 personnel in 2022-23 under various training streams such as Pradhan Mantri Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME) Scheme, farmer-centric training programmes, SDPs aligned with NSDC and short-term courses.
