Admission
for 12 months regular residential international course in Flour Milling
Technology at Flour Milling, Baking and Confectionery Technology Department,
International School of Milling Technology (ISMT) scheduled for the year 2012 -
2013.
Central Food Technological Research Institute
(CFTRI), the pioneering organization in Research and Development in the area of
Food science and Technology and Human Resource Development. CFTRI is ISO
9001:2008 & ISO 14001:2004 Organization and ISO 17025:2005 Accredited
Laboratory. As a part of human resource development, an International School of
Milling Technology was established as a joint Indo-Swiss venture and Roller
Flour Miller Federation of India project during 1981 to serve the needs of
flour milling industry in India and other developing countries with regard to
training in flour milling technology.
So far 30 regular courses in Flour Milling
Technology have been completed and 31st is in progress. In these courses, 585
participants including 100 from some of the other developing countries such as
Bangladesh, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guyana, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya,
Liberia, Mongolia, Nepal, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, The Philippines, Srilanka,
Syria, Suriname, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, Vietnam, West Indies, Yemen,
Zambia, have been trained. These trained personnel are serving in different
roller flour mills in India and in various other countries. Since then, there
have been qualitative changes in the working of these mills as per the feedback
received from the milling industry.
