About Dr. Charis Kharkongor Ripnar
Hello Everyone! First of all I would like to thank the Institute of Scholars for selecting me for the title “InSc Research Excellence Award” which I am so happy to accept it. About myself, I am working as a Technical Associate in the Directorate of Food Processing, Meghalaya. I had previously worked as a food creator in Zizira, Meghalaya for a short period (Jan 2017-May 2017), I then worked as a guest faculty in the institute College of Community Science, CAU, Tura, Meghalaya for almost a year (August 2017- June 2018) and then last year (June 2019) I joined in the office of Directorate of Food Processing, Government of Meghalaya as a Technical Associate. Although my nature of work is coordinating with the food entrepreneurs of Meghalaya in facilitating training activities, tapping the organized and unorganized food processing sectors and working with newly formed schemes in the State, my field of interest lies in research work or research activities and new findings of the normal or indigenous food materials that are available in terms of nutritional value. My other interest also lies in creating and innovating new food products and developing products out of the indigenous foods that have never been processed to be able to contribute positively to the society in terms of health, nutrition and using other food parts that have never been used in processing making it edible or useful in daily lives. I believe that with highest passion and great determination I would be able to achieve all my goals and making my dreams and interests happen and turning them into reality.
