Department of Food Process Engineering

Food processing has been identified as the sunrise industry due to its enormous impact and significance in the Indian development sector. The importance of food & process engineering lies in the fact that it has the capability to provide food to our population through scientific conservations, eliminating available losses and making available more balanced and nutritious food. Recognizing the potential in this sector, the department was started in 2003.
