About Department:
India’s economy is predominantly agrarian, with over half of the population engaged in agricultural activities. Given this extensive reliance on agriculture, there is substantial potential for agribusiness management and food technology in the country. In recognition of this need, the Department of Agribusiness Management and Food Technology (ABM&FT) was established in 2012 with the specific objective of developing professionals equipped to address the dynamic challenges of the food processing and agribusiness sectors. Agribusiness management encompasses a wide range of domains, including farm operations, supply chain logistics, market analytics, and financial planning. The discipline aims to enhance efficiency within agricultural systems, ensuring sustainable and profitable outcomes. Food technology, meanwhile, constitutes an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the scientific principles underlying food production, preservation techniques, quality assessment, and research-driven advancements in food processing. The curriculum in food technology equips learners with the expertise necessary to optimize food safety, enhance nutritional profiles, and implement innovative packaging methodologies. The ABM&FT department plays a pivotal role in facilitating skill development, fostering research initiatives, and preparing students for careers in food processing, agribusiness, and allied industries. By integrating managerial competencies with technological innovation, the department contributes to the sustainable growth of India’s agricultural and food sectors in an increasingly globalized economic landscape.
