On September 20, 2024, B.Sc. (Hons) Biotechnology students, along with four faculty members, embarked on an enriching educational journey to Bonn (S.S. Food Industries – Biscuit Division) in Ludhiana. This visit was designed to offer a unique opportunity to explore cutting-edge facilities and technologies within the biscuit baking industry, allowing students to gain a comprehensive understanding of the intricate stages involved in biscuit production.
The students delved deeply into the meticulous processes, from the careful selection and processing of raw ingredients to the precise steps of mixing, creaming, shaping, moulding, baking, cooling, and packing.
Guided by key personnel, including Mr. Abhijit Ghosh (General Manager), Mr. Rakesh Vohra (Assistant General Manager), and Mr. Satish Soni (Deputy Quality Manager), the students received hands-on exposure to various instruments and control systems integral to biscuit manufacturing. Under the expert guidance of Mr. Sukhpreet Singh (Branch Manager), Mr. Harminder Singh (Assistant Branch Manager), and Mr. Bharat (Marketing Department), the students engaged directly with industry experts, enriching their educational experience.
The visit was an invaluable experience, providing a rich exposure to industrial operations along with real-world insight.
Principal, Dr. (Mrs.) Kamaljit Grewal endorsed the efforts of the department and motivated for such more endeavours in future.
