Central Institute of Petrochemicals Engineering & Event Organizer (VRITIKA) Technology (CIPET) (formerly Central Institute of Plastics Engineering &Technology) was established Dr. Jaydevsinh M. Gohil (Supported by SERB, Accelerate Vigyan in 1968 by Government of India with the assistance of United Nations Development Programme Scheme 2020) (UNDP) at Chennai. The main objective of setting On up of this specialized Institute was to develop manpower in different disciplines of Plastics Studies on Development of Engineering & Technology. During the initial Nanostructured Photothermal project period between 1968 and 1973, the institute achieved the targets envisaged and was rated as one Membranes for Water Evaporation of the most successful UNDP projects implemented worldwide. Today CIPET is a premier Academic Duration: About 35 days (about 5 weeks) Solar-driven photothermal evaporator institution for higher & technical education under the Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers, Govt. of Address for Correspondence India fully devoted in all the domains of plastics viz:- Design, CAD/CAM/CAE, Tooling & Mould Dr. Jaydevsinh M.
