Pune: Products made by students of Industrial Training Institute (ITI) (Girls) Aundh, under their cosmetology and food processing workshop will be now sold in the market.
These products are made without using any preservatives, followed the industry standards of packaging and are also less-costlier than the already available product in the market.
“Ahead of various festival seasons, we have launched these products keeping in mind the importance and speciality of each festival like Ganesh festival, Dussehra and Diwali. Most of the households need traditional food products and traditional skin cleansers. Besides, few items are made with variations as like the different type of ingredients have been used to give it a contemporary feel. However, all products are made without using preservatives,” said Hemlata Jadhav, In-Charge of the Fruits and Vegetable Processing Department at ITI.
Although students have been making these products for a long time as a part of their education, the college never marketed the products. However, by adopting the made-to-order scheme for the first time, we are trying to give exposure about business to our students,” said, SR Khadtare, Acting Principal of ITI (Girls), Aundh.
Khadtare also shared about the courses offered in ITI ranging from computer operator, technician, power electronic system and dressmaking. There are 411 girls studying in ITI.

People can call up the landline number of ITI Aundh to place their order either in small quantity or in bulk.
