Message from the Head of Department
I, Dr. Anupama Singh, am thrilled to extend a warm and hearty welcome to you as a Professor and Head of the distinguished Food Engineering Department at NIFTEM- Kundali.
Our department is all about excellence. We offer various academic programmes i.e M.Tech. in Food Process Engineering & Management (FPEM) and a Ph.D. program in Food Engineering. We also provide a variety of undergraduate courses in Food Technology and Management (B.Tech.), supported by top-notch facilities including 7 well-equipped laboratories.
Our team of dynamic and highly skilled faculty members and well qualified lab staff is the backbone of our department. Their unwavering dedication creates an intellectually charged atmosphere where students not only learn but also develop skills to solve real-world problems effectively.
While research in diversified fields is a big part of what we do, we also put a strong focus on teaching. What truly sets us apart is our commitment to blend these two crucial aspects seamlessly. We believe that education should bridge the gap between theory and practical application.At the core of our mission is a strong dedication to offering exceptional opportunities for our students. We believe this commitment is the key in helping them unlock their potential and prepare for a future full of promise. As a united team, we are determined to take the department to new heights of success.
Our shared vision revolves around elevating the Food Engineering department to a level where quality is not just a measure, but a driving force. This commitment will echo through everything we do – from groundbreaking research to nurturing exceptional students and achieving remarkable academic feats.
In conclusion, we eagerly look forward to and deeply value your ongoing support. This collaboration will be our guiding light as we work towards achieving remarkable milestones. Your presence and engagement are invaluable contributions to our journey towards excellence.
