International Standing and Accolades: Case for special status

by the Government

The Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT) Mumbai was established as the Department of Chemical Technology on 1st October, 1933 by the University of Mumbai, through active support of industries and philanthropists. The Institute was most popularly known as UDCT, Mumbai. Research has been an integral part of ICT since its inception and it has created over 500 first generation entrepreneurs. UDCT grew significantly in stature and was granted autonomy under UGC regulations by the University of Mumbai and further converted in to an Institute on 26th January, 2002. Under the World Bank TEQIP programme, the Maharashtra government granted it full autonomy in June 2004. Due to the recommendations of the Government of Maharashtra and University of Mumbai, ICT was granted Deemed University Status by the MHRD on 12th September, 2008, with all provisions of the UGC for funding and support as the state owned deemed university.

ICT has brought kudos to India, despite being at a disadvantaged position with reference to other technological institutes of national importance, particularly the IITS, IISc, ISERS, NISERs and Central Universities. Its stellar performance is reflected in the following:

1. The MHRD had evaluated all deemed universities in the country in 2009 and granted “A” grade to 38 universities among 135 deemed universities. ICT is rated as Number One Deemed University with “A” grade. It is the only one among 4 in Maharashtra State, the other 3 being centrally funded TIFR, TISS and CIFE.

2. ICT has also been rated as Number One Institute by NPIU among 127 TEQIP funded Institutes, all over India, in October, 2010.

3. Biospectrum magazine in August 2010 has also rated ICT’s programme as Number One among all biotechnology programmes in the country and the first prize was bestowed on 17th December at Bangalore.

4. A survey was published by Professor Jude Sommerfeld of Georgia Tech., USA in January 2011 showing that ICT is Number One Institute in India far ahead of several others including IITs, and it is also in top 10 in the world in Chemical Engineering. This rank has been maintained since 1970s.

5. Very recently the UGC decided to recognize faculty who have guided at least 15 Ph.D.s. ICT has a record of 11 faculty who qualified for special grants. The Director (Vice Chancellor) Professor G. D. Yadav is the topmost among all academics having supervised 61 PhDs and 58 Masters degree holders. He is the only serving faculty in the State to be a Fellow of the TWAS- the Academy of the Developing World, Trieste, Italy, including Fellowship of INSA.

6. ICT produced 100 Ph.D.s during 2009-10 which is record for any institute in India engaged in chemical engineering and technology.

The Institute has a glorious history of 78 years, having produced many industrialists, academics, bureaucrats, Padma awardees, secretaries to Government Departments, directors of CSIR labs and over 500 first generation entrepreneurs. The institute has very strong linkages with industry and produced some of the topmost academics and industrialists. Some of the distinguished alumni includes- Padmavibhushan Professor M.M. Sharma, Member, Scient i f ic Advisory Committee to the Cabinet, Padmabhushan Dr. R. A. Mashelkar, former Director General, CSIR, Shri Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director, Reliance Industries, Padmashri Dr. K. Anji Reddy, Chairman, Dr. Reddy’s Lab, Shri Ashwin Dani, Vice-Chairman, Asian Paints Ltd., Shri C.V. Gogri, Chairman, Aarti Group of Industries, Dr. K. H.

ICT has been receiving various grants and projects from the UGC, DAE, DBT, DST and other agencies, and Indian and foreign industries, with several centres of excellence: Centres of Advanced Studies in Chemical Engineering, Food Engineering and Technology, Pharmaceutical Science and Technology, Physico-Chemical Aspects of Textiles, Fibres, Dyes & Polymers; UGC Networking Resource Centre in Chemical Engineering; DBT-ICT Centre in Energy Biosciences; ICT-DAE Centre in Chemical Engineering Education and Research; Centre for Green Technology. The DAE has sanctioned 75 crores for the Centre in Chemical Engineering Education and Research with several projects from BARC and IGCAR for development of indigenous technologies for energy.

Merit is the only criterion for admission, including government reservation policy. Several merit-cum-means scholarships (261) are awarded to needy students which range from ̀ 3000 to ` 75000 per student per annum. Research has been an integral part of ICT, with state-of-the art research facilities, and hostels. The faculty is highly accomplished, with multi-disciplinary interests and decorated with national and international awards and honours. All leading foreign universities and industries seek ICT graduates. Last year, a record of 161 full-time Ph D students and 120 Masters students, all with fellowships, were admitted.

The foregoing demonstrates ICT’s International standing, meriting the criterion of a special status.

The industrial environment today is characterized by the need to constantly innovate and reinvent oneself in order to not only sustain but also grow one's stature. In recognition of this requirement the Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT) is poised for a new phase having received Deemed University status on the occasion of its platinum jubilee celebration in October, 2010. The educational and training programmes of the Food Engineering and Technology (FET) department at ICT are anchored around the same philosophy of continuous growth and development. Our esteemed faculty with rich industrial experience is crucial to the generation of an environment wherein our students not only learn theoretical concepts but also get a glimpse of what's happening on the industrial front.

The Food Engineering and Technology department is enthusiastically geared up to reach a higher level of quality education and industrially relevant research to achieve their mission. Over the course of the previous academic year (2009-2010) the department has received major grants from UGC, TEQIP, Rajiv Gandhi Science and Technology Commission, Government of Maharashtra, Ministry of Food Processing Industries, DAE, AICTE, DBT. In addition various sponsored projects from governmental organizations like UGC, DBT, Ministry of Food Processing Industries, Rajiv Gandhi Science and Technology Commission, Govt. of Maharashtra, Private organizations like Cumballa Hill Hospital and Heart Institute, Dow Chemical Co., Cadbury India Ltd have also been received.

We strongly believe that our pool of high calibre students who have been groomed by distinguished faculty and exposed to relevant industrial interactions, are equipped to become responsible and effective technologists. These students with their glorious academic pasts and multitalented personalities possess the potential to bring value to the industry.

Our illustrious alumni network has always been a beacon of light and a continous source of inspiration for our students. We hope for continued support from industries, well wishers, alumni and other professional bodies and associations from the fraternity of food technology.

Best wishes and warm regards to the FET department Batch of 2011!!

MESSAGE FROM THE HOD

Professor &

At present the department conducts a BTech program in Food Engineering & Technology, two MTech programs (Food Biotechnology, Food Engineering & Technology) as well as several Ph.D. programs in both basic sciences and chemical technology in tandem with the consortium of Masters programs. The success of these academic programs has been enhanced due to the financial support received by the department from UGC-DSA under COSIST and FIST (for the past fifteen years), AICTE, DBT, DAE, MHRD, DBT, World Bank through TEQIP, Ministry of Food Processing, Rajiv Gandhi Commission for S & T, Govt. of Maharashtra and from private and multinational industries. The department performance has also been recognized recently in 2008 when it received the most prestigious status of Centre of Advanced Studies (CAS) from UGC.

The history of the Food Engineering and

Technology department at the institute stretches back to 1943 when a B. Sc. (Tech) degree in Chemistry of Foods & Drugs was introduced. Subsequently in 1949, it was transformed to a full-fledged degree course in Food Technology with a dedicated department under this title. In 1966 with the commencement of M.Sc. (Tech) program in Fermentation Technology, the department was renamed as Food & Fermentation technology. Later on, keeping in line with the national pattern of the development of degree and post graduate programs, the degree courses underwent several changes and eventually the department was renamed as the Food Engineering & Technology department in 2005.
