Free dossiers of nine technologies made available by the Mysore-based CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI) have caught the imagination of entrepreneurs.
The free dossiers of nine popular and time-tested technologies and processes made available on the institute’s website, have been downloaded by over 150 people within a month.
The technologies made available on the website include ‘amla’ candy, composite ragi bread, fruit spreads, ginger dehydration and bleaching, green chilli sauce, protein-enriched buns, ready-to-use dosa batter, ready-to-use idli batter and turmeric curing and polishing.
“It is very useful to farmers who can cultivate economically using these processes,” said Manjunath from Chamarajanagar district and Harish, who called it a “wonderful initiative”.
“More technologies will be added depending upon the demand and utility,” said Director Ram Rajasekharan today. The institute has also planned programmes for those desiring practical training on the nine technologies at a nominal cost, he added.
The free download facility is one of the several initiatives taken up by the CFTRI under the leadership of Ram Rajasekharan to reach out to the needy. It was declared open by senior scientist G Padmanabhan, former director, Indian Institute of Science, and chairman, Research Council of CSIR-CFTRI, on March 7 last.
The dossiers can be downloaded for free from http://www.cftri.com by clicking on the link ‘Free Technologies’.
