The National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management (NIFTEM) was conceptualized by the Government of India on the persistent the demand of the food industry to have an apex body as a “One Stop Solution Provider” for the various problems of the sector. Ministry of Food Process- ing Industries, Government of India has set up this institute with an initial investment of Rs. 500 crores (US 100 million).
The institute is spread over an area of 100 acres. The institute intends to act as a center of excellence and an apex world-class center of global standards in the area of food technology and management. It will cater to the needs of various stakeholders such as entrepreneurs, industries, exporters, policymakers, govern- ment, and existing institutions. NIFTEM being an apex institution under the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) has developed strong linkages with industries.
WHY NIFTEM
NIFTEM aims to be a world-class apex institute and a pioneer in creating a center for integrated research, education, enterprise incubation, and outreach in the area of food science and technology. NIFTEM believes that the success of an institution hinges primarily on its ability to nurture talent and unlock the potential of people. NIFTEM considers academic and non-academic staff as partners in our collaborative endeavor to realize the institute’s vision.
We believe that an institute is as good as its people. To ensure our people are the repository of the best talent, we create opportunities for continuous learning and self-development through training on various latest cutting-edge skills in the food science and technology domain. At NIFTEM, simply stating that people are our biggest asset is not adequate – we believe they are the drivers of our growth and the real reason for our success.
The power of this capital is reflected in everything we do, whether it is improving process efficiencies, initiating new ideas for sustainable growth, or improving stakeholder value. Our team comprises experienced, highly motivated, and skilled personnel from various disciplines and diverse backgrounds that blend into a common work ethos that fosters excellence and continuous growth.This culture is backed up and reinforced by our people’s policies and practices which are forward-looking and align with our vision and values framework. This is what NIFTEM family members have to say about their organization: “A platform that has given a smile on employees’ faces and dreams in their eyes; a platform where their individual goals are coherent with the vision of NIFTEM.”
