The two-day Open Day, allowing the public, students, and entrepreneurs to glimpse the research prowess of CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), received overwhelming response with students thronging the sprawling campus on Thursday.
Students from various schools and colleges made a beeline to the institute which opens its doors every year to visitors to introduce technologies and explain the research activities. Visitors were allowed from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Open Day concludes on Friday at 4 p.m. The Open Day this year is organised as part of the ‘One Week One Lab’ campaign.
Visitors are allowed from the gate in front of Akashwani on KRS Road.
