MSc Chemistry Job : JRF Post Vacant @ NIT Jamshedpur

123 years ago, in central Calcutta an intrepid baker made a batch of delicious, golden brown biscuits. These were meant for officers of the British Raj and their families, people used to the exacting standards of English tea-time snacking. From the paeans of ecstasy for that first batch of aromatic, flavour-some biscuits was born a long tradition of delectable baking – and its Indian custodian, Britannia.
