The Department of Commerce in collaboration with IIC organized a one-day Field visit to
‘The Gurdaspur Co-operative Sugar Mills Ltd., Paniar’ for students. A technical session was
conducted in which the students benefited in terms of the production as well as marketing
details provided by the industry. The basic objective of this visit was to nurture and foster
entrepreneurial spirit and innovation among the students and to give an overview of
different projects and operational mechanisms of the sugar mill to the students. The team
of the sugar mill provided information to the students about manufacturing of sugar. The
interaction sessions with the Industry Experts and Engineers were very informative.
Students come to know about the production process, packaging, labeling and logistics
management. They also got information about various job-avenues in such industries and
how to apply for that. 40 students of undergraduate classes along with 3 faculty members
joined this field visit.
