Features

Being one of the oldest academic disciplines of this institution, the department is privileged to have a strong faculty and academic program. They are striving to nurture our industry with trained and skilled manpower and with the development of “early bird” innovative production processes.

The research activities on medicinally important plant-derived constituents, nutritional fortification of edible grains crops, development of industrially important fungal enzymes and natural pigments, edibles free from biotic contaminants, etc. are being valued by national industrial enterprises. An all-out academia-industry linkage initiative has taken off from this forum and the relevant entrepreneurs are approaching us for collaborative research ventures of mutual interest.Currently the department has signed MoUs with WWF, Pakistan, NorthWest & AF University, China for research and academic collaboration.
