» Formation of the
Institute To promote R&D in the field of pulp & paper, a
National level Institute was established in 1980 as an autonomous body under
the administrative control of Dept. of Industrial Policy & Promotion,
Ministry of Industry, Govt. of India.
» Growth & Development of the Institute The origin of
CPPRI dates back to the year 1975 when the UNDP-GOI Project became
operational. After the conclusion of the UNDP Project, the facilities thus
created were utilized to fulfill the long felt need for a National Level
Institute to promote R&D needs of Indian Pulp and Paper Industry. Thus
after the approval of the cabinet, Central Pulp & Paper research
Institute (CPPRI) came into existence in November 1980. Existing R&D
facilities were continuously upgraded with the aid of Plan Funds received
from the Government.
From a Small Laboratory in 1980 CPPRI has
grown into a National Level Institute having :-
