Highlights of the work of our internees, who have developed a wide range of value-added food products through hands-on training and research, guided by our senior scientists.

From nutritious snacks and functional beverages to dehydrated fruits, herbal teas, sauces, and bakery items—each product reflects hands-on learning, scientific application, and a commitment to quality and sustainability.

This initiative not only enhances practical skills but also promotes entrepreneurship and the importance of post-harvest value addition in reducing losses and improving food utilization.

Kudos to our talented internees and their mentors for turning ideas into impactful, market-ready products!
