Press Information Bureau Government of India Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers 20-January-2016 20:38 IST Shri Ananth Kumar gives away National Award for Technology Innovation in Petrochemicals and Downstream Plastics Processing Industry

The Union Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers, Shri Ananth Kumar today presented the Sixth National Awards for Technology in Innovation in Petrochemicals and downstream Plastics Processing Industry in New Delhi. The Minister of State for Chemicals and Fertilizers, Shri HansrajGangaramAhir was also present in the function. Complementing the awardees, Shri Ananth Kumar said that there is so much talent in the country in the sector, and there is need to harness, map and support them so that there are more innovations, and Research and Development activities. He said that considering the huge requirement of skilled manpower in the petrochemical sector, the Government has decided to set up 100 CIPETs (Central Institutes for Plastic Engineering and Technology). He said that the country needs more value addition of the refinery output so that the polymer industry grows up fast, and creates new products and does import substitution. The Minister stressed on the need of launching awareness campaign about the benefits and range of polymer products, and also of recycling and reusing them. He said that the Government will provide the full support to the petrochemical industry. In this regard, he added, that a lot of work has been done on reverse SEZs with a few countries. The Government of India had announced the National policy on Petrochemicals in April, 2007, with the objective of developing value added, quality Petrochemical products at globally competitive prices. To achieve these objectives, an award scheme was set up to incentivize meritorious innovation and inventions in the field of Polymeric materials, products, processes and other areas of national and social importance. The awards are given for outstanding contribution to R&D, leading to less energy consumption, better plastic waste management, increase in product life cycle, development of innovative new products, quality standards, recycling and other emerging areas. Central Institute of Plastics Engineering and Technology (CIPET), an autonomous organization under Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, implements the scheme of the national awards. For the sixth national awards, 264 nominations were received, 17 of which have been selected as winners and 14 as runners up for 2015-16. The list of the awardees is enclosed.
