The CSIR – National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology (NIIST) here has discussed the possibility of setting up an incubation facility for the rubber sector at its campus.
The idea was mooted at a technical meet on rubber and allied industries organised by NIIST recently, but a decision is yet to be finalised, NIIST director C. Anandharamakrishnan said.
The concept is that the facility would focus on rubber processing, product development, testing and quality control ‘‘so that the unmet needs and demands from the rubber sector can be fulfilled,’‘ a statement said.
