The Association of Chemical Technology (India) well known as ACTI has been established in the year 1962 and registered as a Trust in the year 1965. The main objective of ACTI is to provide and promote technical education directed principally towards all branches of Chemical Technology, to encourage Research and Development of new methods, new products as also new techniques in chemical technology, to enhance educational activities and to promote alround advancement of Science and Chemical Technology amongst the members by arranging lectures of experts, seminars, conferences, training workshops and courses in the Industry and educational institutes.
The vision of ACT in the coming millennium is to survive & to prosper as also to promote advancement of science & technology. The beginning has been undertaken by activating textile educational institutes at grass root level by encouraging the students by giving merit awards and arranging competitions. The whole purpose is to create knowledge based culture and environment befitting this millennium. For Self modification of members and students the following activities were worked out and implemented. i.e. offering Hon. Membership, Student participation, award of certificates. ACTI nominates students to visit exhibitions of international conferences etc. outside Ahmedabad.
Initially the memberships were restricted to BUDCT graduates Later it was open for all technologists like textile chemistry e.g. Chemical Engineering, Plastic, Pharmaceutical, Dyes & intermediates etc. Now a days ACTI is an Asso. of Professionals, (Entrepreneurs) and technocrats having 400 members throughout the country. For spreading activities of ACTI, 3 different chapters were started at. 1. Surat. 2.Vadodara. 3. Mumbai. At present ACTI organizes lecture series with the assistance of Western India Section of Textile Institute (Manchester) on every last Saturday of the month. We have entered into a “MOU” with RCTI College, Ahmedabad to encourage the students to educate through lecture series.
