Sophisticated Analytical Instruments Facility (SAIF) Corner

ICAR-NINFET was established in 1938 and scientists working in this institute have since then made notable contributions in science and technology of jute and allied fibres. During this period a cultural ethos was simultaneously cultivated and nurtured that shaped the working ambience of this institute and provided broad functional guidelines. Over the past few decades use of sophisticated instruments and cutting edge technologies has become essential in research. So, several sophisticated analytical instruments have been procured at ICAR-NIRJAFT and they are maintained in different divisions of the institute. The R&D and extension activities of the institute are mainly carried out through four divisions namely,

i) Quality Evaluation and Improvement Division

ii) Mechanical Processing Division

iii) Chemical & Biochemical Processing Division and

iv) Transfer of Technology Division.

All the sophisticated Analytical Instruments are located and maintained by different divisions based on the activity of the respective divisions. These instruments are not only costly but they require costly maintenance also for smooth functioning. The students and researchers working in different institutions can utilise these facilities on charge basis and hence this informative corners have been created in the institute website named ICAR- NIRJAFT SAIF CORNER.
