HASETRI acts as a bridge between academia and industrial circles for better
interaction. Some of the areas where HASTERI is involved are:
- Jointly running a Post Graduate Diploma course (recently upgraded to
M.Sc.) in Polymer Science and Rubber Technology with Mohan Lal Sukhadia
University, Udaipur.
- Technical manpower development through the Indian Rubber Institute
(IRI), Jaykaygram, Rajasthan Branch.
- Sponsored Research Programme with IIT Kharagpur, IIT Chennai, IIT
Delhi and other Universities leading to M.Tech and Ph.D degrees.
- Association with BIS, ISO and ASTM for standardization of
specification and test method related with rubber and allied industries.
- Association with Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) for
conducting courses on Rubber Science and Technology in pursuance of its
objective of manpower development and customised training, at different
locations in India.
- Visiting Faculty for the Institute of National Importance (viz. IIT,
MIT Chennai, Cochin University, Calcutta University).
