Sambalpur University established as Center for Food Science & Technology in 2010 and turned into independent P.G. Department of Food Science Technology and Nutrition in the year 2018. It is an interdisciplinary center of study to offer courses on Food Science & technology and carry out research in areas of food science, food technology, food processing and Nutrition. The emphasis of the department is interdisciplinary study with social relevance. The center started functioning with the M. Tech. programme in Food Science & Technology, M. Sc. programme in Food Science with the support of Ministry of Food Processing Industries, Government of India. Currently three courses (Two P.G. Programme namely as
(1). M.Sc. Food Science and Technology,
(2) M.Sc. Nutrition and Deictics and one Ph.D. Programme i.e. Ph.D. in Food Science and Technology) are running.
In FSTN, about 50% of the students are from out of state as well as many of them are working in Food Industries of private and Govt. sector all over India. Most of the students are placed as dietician in various multidisciplinary hospitals after completing their Masters.
Vision :
To provide quality education to the students with globally recognized learning curricula in the field of Food Technology & Nutritional sciences to become self-sustainable and entrepreneur.

The Department has signed two significant Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) to advance computer education and research. The first MOU, in 2015, involved a partnership with IIT Bombay and was funded by the National Mission on Education through ICT (NMEICT), Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India. This initiative aimed to provide software training through spoken tutorials. The second MOU, established in 2017, was with the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), Pune, and was funded by the Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan(RUSA), Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India. This collaboration focused on installing and deploying "PARAM Shavak," a high-performance computing solution, enhancing the University's computing capabilities for advanced research and training to students, research scholars and faculties of the University .
The Department received two significant CSR funds in 2022. The first sponsorship, amounting to Rs. 27,25,865, was provided by the CSR Department of JSW Bhushan Power & Steel Limited, Rengali, Sambalpur, with the aim of supporting the development of a new computer Training Centre. The second sponsorship, totaling Rs. 10,00,000, was generously contributed by UCO Bank's General Administrative Department, Zonal Office, Ainthapali Road, Sambalpur, with a specific focus on establishing a computer Training Centre tailored to the needs of SC/ST students. These funds signify a meaningful partnership between industry and academia, enhancing educational opportunities in computer science and applications for the benefit of students at Sambalpur University, with a particular emphasis on empowering underprivileged communities.
