NEW DELHI, AUGUST 10
FSSAI is establishing a comprehensive framework for engagement with higher education institutes on issues concerning food safety and applied nutrition in a bid to create a future-ready skilled workforce in the food processing industry.
As part of this strategy, the regulator has initiated discussions with vice-chancellors of various universities, academicians, industry and industry associations, besides officials of other Ministries.
“Measures to co-develop and implement an updated curriculum that reflects the shift in thinking from merely preventing adulteration to a more holistic concept of ensuring safe and wholesome food have been discussed,” FSSAI said in a statement.
The framework will adopt a comprehensive approach through the introduction of relevant content in course curricula, enhancing practical learning through internships and fellowships, and promoting interactive learning through opportunities for students to participate in socially relevant projects related to food safety and nutrition.
“A triple E-strategy (Engage, Excite, Enable) to engage effectively with Higher Education Institutes was agreed on,” the statement added.
