The Department of Fish Processing Technology has played a pivotal role in advancing fish value addition, preservation techniques, and shelf-life enhancement studies. With a strong focus on research and innovation, the department has successfully handled three significant projects amounting to approximately ₹67 lakhs as Principal Investigator. These projects have contributed to the development of novel fish-based products, improved storage methods, and enhanced marketability. The department is actively engaged in training programs for fish farmers, equipping them with the necessary skills for value addition and proper fish preservation. Extension activities form a crucial part of its initiatives, including advisory services, scientific manual publications, and informative leaflets promoting good processing practices. Students benefit from exposure visits to coastal areas, gaining practical insights into real-world fish processing techniques. The department also disseminates knowledge through radio talks, television discussions, and awareness campaigns to reach a broader audience. Through its continued efforts, it remains committed to strengthening the fishery sector by bridging the gap between research, industry, and stakeholders.
