Established in 1968, CIPET (Central Institute of Petrochemicals Engineering & Technology), formerly known as CIPET (Central Institute of Plastics Engineering & Technology), was founded in Chennai with the support of the Government of India and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The primary objective behind the establishment of this specialized institute was to bridge the gap in the availability of skilled professionals in various disciplines of Plastics Engineering & Technology, as no similar institution existed in the country at that time. The International Labour Organization (ILO) served as the executing agency for this initiative. During the initial period from 1968 to 1973, the institute successfully accomplished its set targets and was recognized as one of the most successful UNDP projects worldwide.
