July 7, 2018

Mysuru: There is a huge demand for food technology courses and along with increasing the intake to 100, a Centre of Excellence will be opened soon, said Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI) Chief Scientist R. Subramanian.

He was speaking at the Awards Day function organised at the Institute auditorium, here yesterday and said that at present only 25 students were being admitted to the food technology courses.

This will be increased to 100 students. Even the Institute Management Committee has advised the institute to increase the intake, he added.

The demand for the courses irrespective of whether it is Post-Graduation or certificate has increased, as the job opportunities are there both in the country and abroad.

Apart from this, it is equally important to focus in the fields of water, food and health, he said.
