The department was established in 1980 in the Faculty of Agriculture Rawalakot. Since its existence, this department always remained in leading position and produced hundreds of professional food technologists who are currently serving at national and international positions with good reputation. There is a constant demand for food technology graduates, both men and women. This demand is created by the high percentage of foods marketed in processed form rather than as fresh or raw products. The Department of Food Science and Technology offers both undergraduate and post-graduate degree programs designed to give basic and technical training for work in different industries as meat, poultry & fish processing, dairy and milk processing, beverages, fruit & vegetable processing, fat & oil processing & sugar technology. Superior students are encouraged to undertake post graduate study since great opportunities are now open to food scientists & technologist. In addition, role of nutrition (dietetics) in the prevention and management of diseases is largely un-explored due to nonexistence of this vital discipline in the country, especially AJ&K. Keeping in view the core significance and vast scope of nutrition, the Department of Food Science & Technology is also offering four years degree program, B.Sc. (Hons) Human Nutrition & Dietetics (HND). Hence the qualified nutritionists can perform their services in public and private sectors as Nutrition Educationists, Nutrition Consultants, Dieticians, Public Health Nutritionists, Clinical Dieticians, Food Service Administrators, Nutrition, Health Expert, Weight Management Expertise and Therapeutic Diet Planning etc.
