Dr S Mohan, Professor and Dean, Post graduate stuties in TNAU and inventor of many gadgets for stored product insects, had trained about 20 researchers and scientists from the African continent under the Indo-African Programme.
The trainees were provided with multimedia CD on TNAU gadgets and a TNAU Trap to test and demonstrate to the top officials, so that this could pave way for the technology to be introduced in their centres, university sources said.
Based on a presentation by one of the trainees, Manalsorour of Food Technology Institute, Giza, Cairo, many scientists there have shown keen interest in the technologies.
The institute has invited Mohan to present TNAU technologies to the scientists during a conference organised by Food Technology Research Centre, Cairo later this month, the sources said.
