HOD'S Message

I It is really a matter of great pleasure to welcome you in the Department of Food Technology of Guru Nanak Institute of Technology which has established itself as a leading educational institute in the field of Food Technology in West Bengal. It’s impressive to hear that the department has been accredited by NBA since 2014. Since its establishment in 2006, the department has continuously strived for improvement, organizing various programs such as

Entrepreneurship Development Programs (EDP), seminars, conferences, workshops, and symposiums. This demonstrates a commitment to providing students with a well-rounded education that combines industry practices with academic expertise. The department’s approach to education includes a blended learning  management system, which effectively combines sustainable management and technical skills from the industry with the knowledge and  guidance of highly experienced Ph.D. faculty members. This ensures that students
 

receive up-to-date knowledge and are prepared for the advancements and developments in the Food Processing Sector, not only at the state level but also on a national and international
scale.
