College of Food Processing Technology & Bio Energy, Anand established in 2004. It is affiliated to Anand Agricultural University. College of Food Processing Technology & Bio Energy focusing on the efficient use of resources is the growing concern for all  involved in food production, processing, distribution and retailing. The unique features of the raw materials of the food processing industries such as seasonality, perishability and variability in conjunction with sophistication required for processing to maintain high quality standards, necessitates special attention towards focused  availability of qualified technical manpower, effective technologies and efficient machinery. The food industries in the country need modernization to face the challenges of the globalization. Considering the huge demand of the specialized human resource for the fast growing sectors of food industry and the bio-energy, a new College of Food Processing Technology and Bio-Energy has been established at Anand Agricultural University, Anand. It develops students with high-tech scientific knowledge and technical skills to handle various food resources from farm-to-factory-to-consumers. Efficient production, processing and packaging of various value added food products of very high quality are the main aspects being taught to the students.
