Admission to M.Sc. [FOOD TECHNOLOGY] at Central Food Technological Research Institute, Mysore
On 21st of October, 1950, the Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI) was declared open by Mr. C.Rajagopalachari, the then Home Minister in the Government of India, and Dr. V. Subrahmanyan became the first Director of the institute.
CFTRI thus became a reality (as a constituent institute of CSIR and its third national laboratory) thanks to the vision and endeavours of its founders and a network of dedicated scientists who had a passion to pursue in-depth scientific research into one of the most fundamental aspects of human life. With over 75% of the population occupied in food raising, and no facilities to benefit from post-harvest technology till then, India hailed the birth of CFTRI and started to look at it with great expectations.
