Overview
Gujarat is one of the highly progressive and development conscious states in the country. The agricultural and the industrial development of the state is taking place at a fast rate not only due to the keen interest of the State Government but also due to the progressive and enterprising nature of the people of the state.
The agro products and food processing industry sector is one of the largest in terms of production, consumption, export and growth prospects. The Government has accorded them a high priority, with a number of fiscal relief and incentives to encourage commercialization and value addition to agricultural produce, for minimizing pre/post harvest wastage, generating employment and export growth.
There is need to develop expertise in development of processes and processing equipments for producing value added products, particularly from agro-based sources. It is important that the technologies developed for this purpose must be economically viable so that they not only give additional income to the farmers but also generate additional avenues for generating employment in rural areas, contributing to rural economy.
Moreover, due to Government’s industrial friendly policy and potentiality of food processing industries, many new food units would come in the nearest future. To cater the demand of trained manpower especially in the food processing sector, an institute that prepares such human resource is an urgent need of the hour.
Sensing the importance of agro processing, the Government of Gujarat had sanctioned a Polytechnic in Agro-processing to Junagadh Agricultural University during the year 2008-09 with the intake of 25 students. Accordingly, a Polytechnic in Agro-Processing has started its academic activities from the academic year 2009-10 at Junagadh.
The medium of teaching of this course is English and 10th standard passed students are eligible for admission.
It offers various courses related to agro processing such as Post Harvest Processing of food grains, fruits and vegetables, Drying and Dehydration, Heat and Mass Transfer, Seed Technology, Storage Engineering, Environmental Control Engineering, Physical Properties of Biological Materials, Packaging, Mechanical Engineering, Application of Computer and Food Science etc. to the students. The unique feature of this diploma course is one semester (six months) industrial training. It is mandatory the every students have to under go six months industrial training, as a part of curriculum, preferably in food processing plant, which certainly develop their professional skill and also the entrepreneur outlook.
The primary objective of this three year (six semester) diploma course is to create and nourish a stimulating learning environment that ensures a globally relevant education based on Eternal human values and to provide trained man power to the educational institutes, various departments of Government, NGO and industries engaged in agro processing.
Besides this the institute is also to care the following objectives.
  1. To give exposure to the students in the area of food processing of Cereals, Pulses, Oilseeds, Horticultural crops, Fisheries and Dairy Industries.
  2. To create awareness of post harvest technology and food processing in the Saurashtra region by imparting training to them.
  3. To create importance of value added products.
  4. To train students on assessment of quality and their management of various agricultural products such as Cereals, Pulses, Oilseeds, Fruits and vegetable.
Our Mission 
  1. To be the premier institute providing quality education to the students in order to make them ideal citizens to serve the community, specially the farming community for its enrichment and advancement.
  2. To provide formal & non-formal quality education specially in the field of Processing and Food Engineering to make them better professionals.
  3. To provide best quality trained Technical Man Power to the field of Food Processing Sector of Gujarat State.
  4. To achieve excellence in technical education through continuous upgradation and improvement to contribute to the well being of human kind.
Our Vision
  1. Offering quality education in the Agricultural Process Engineering and related field to produce Technical Manpower as per requirement of Industry and other sectors of employment.
  2. Establishing linkages with industry and farming community for sharing resources for mutual growth and development.
  3. Promoting innovation and development for bringing improvement for technical learning processes and instructional resources development by making use of latest information technical and instructional delivery system.
  4. Promoting self employment and entrepreneurship amongst students.
