Interaction Meets & Training Programme
In order to meet the new challenges in the era of globalization and economic reforms continuing updating of scientific knowledge is one of concern, which requires immediate attention. CPPRI has been making concerted efforts to disseminate the scientific knowledge to the technical personnel of paper industry by organizing interaction meets, training programs and disseminating information through news bulletins and providing current awareness services to the Paper and Allied Industries. These activities will help technical mill personnel in updating the scientific knowledge and understanding the new horizons of technological development in paper science. These programs would expose them to the best management practices and guide them in choosing the environment friendly technologies. With a better understanding of various unit processes and technological developments, the mill personnel can set benchmarks for the various unit processes in their mills. It will equip the technical manpower of the industry to meet the new challenges
