It is another proud moment for me to present the outcome of our Institute’s research programs for the period 2014-15. Our achievements were no doubt possible due to the collective efforts of the entire R&D community of the Institute, ably supported by our non-scientific staff. A vibrant and creative CSIR-CFTRI has been achieved by the steadfast and passionate involvement of Team CFTRI. Our XII Five Year plan projects - AGROPATHY, WELFO, LIPIC and NUTRI-ARM, are geared up with their deliverables. These projects have been very successful as measured by the yardstick of publications in high impact, peer reviewed journals and by the innovative technology outcomes. Being a premier food research laboratory in the country, CSIR-CFTRI has attracted many institutions to partner with it in furthering the R&D in the area of Food Science and Technology. This year saw the collaborations with Karnataka Govt. for establishing a Nutra-Phyto Incubation Centre and Common Instrumentation facility (NPIC-CIF) on campus; a MoU with PCPCL, a farmer’s cooperative in Palakkad, for marketing Coconut Neera in PET bottles. We have also signed a MoU with the Food Safety Commisionerate of Kerala, to help them upgrade the analytical laboratory and strengthen food safety in their state. Human resource development department has seen a rising increase in the number of students joining our M.Sc. (Food Technology), Certificate course in Milling Technology and Integrated M.Sc.-Ph.D programme (Nutrition Biology). The Ph.D programs under AcSIR and Mysore University are monitored for high quality and best standards. CSIR- CFTRI also signed a MoU with the Indian Institute of Crop Processing Technology (IICPT), Thanjavur, to collaborate and synergise their efforts in curriculum development. As part of the continuing education programme, Short Term Courses and customized training programmes are offered to empower entrepreneurs and industry personnel. The Institute continued to show its commitment towards the farming community, by organizing an All India Farmers Empowering Workshop and many other awareness programmes conducted in association with agencies like the Ministry of MSME, Govt. of India. Keeping in mind the Dehradun Declaration by the Hon’ble Minister for S&T earlier in June this year, we have focused on societal development, resulting in beneficiaries to the tune of several thousand farmers and several hundred anganwadi children. As in the previous years, OPEN DAYS were organised that have drawn a good number of visitors and students for first hand interaction with scientists. Overall, it was a fulfilling year in terms of academic and societal accomplishments. It is my duty to acknowledge the support received from CSIR, New Delhi; the guidance from the Research Council and Management Council of the Institute and various funding organizations and Industries. I wish to thank the staff and students of the Institute for their zealous and relentless efforts in making this success possible every time. I look forward to a more productive year ahead!
