ECP HACCP Training by Unilever
The Food Technology extended curriculum students got an opportunity of a life time, when they where chosen to attend a HACCP workshop organised onsite by Unilever. The students learnt a lot and were very happy for the rare opportunity. Unilever has indicated that they would want to continue to train our students for as long as there is funding to do so. Kudos to them!!!
High school visitors to the department
Our marketing drive to educate high school students about the Food Technology department seems to be paying dividends, as we get visitors from various schools during the course of the year. This year as usual we entertain the students with various aspects of food technology. The enthusiastic students are only too eager to learn
