On April 24th, 2025, our MSc Chemistry students from YIASCM embarked on an enlightening industrial visit to Gurucharan Industries in Baikampady, Mangaluru. The visit provided a unique opportunity to explore the plastic manufacturing sector, specifically the production of industrial machinery and plastic sheets.
During the visit, students gained hands-on insights into the manufacturing process, from raw material input to final product output. This experience not only deepened their understanding of polymer chemistry but also exposed them to real-world applications and industry practices.
The visit aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly:
This industrial tour broadened students' perspectives on career opportunities in the polymer processing industry and its role in industrial development.
We are grateful to Gurucharan Industries for hosting our students and providing them with this valuable learning experience.
