Admissions Open in Central Glass and Ceramic Research Institute

Central Glass and Ceramic Research Institute (CGCRI) initially proposed to be named as Central Glass and Silicate Research Institute is one of the initial four labs chose to be set up under the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, the other three being National Chemical Laboratory,Pune; National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi and Central Fuel Research Institute, Dhanbad. Despite the fact that it began working in a restricted manner in 1944, the Institute was officially introduced on August 26, 1950. 

At the underlying stages a large portion of the work was coordinated towards distinguishing appropriate mineral assets inside the nation and their appropriateness for explicit item improvement. The quality control perspectives in glass and earthenware got due consideration as was the work on glass framing machines and glass-lined gear. 

As an intelligent continuation of crafted by the fifties, CGCRI's venturing into sixties denoted a significant achievement throughout the entire existence of financial advancement of the nation. Improvement of different sorts of optical glasses brought CGCRI into spotlight in the universal field. 

Optical glass is a key material utilized as focal points and crystals for making periscopes, binoculars, run discoverers, firearm sights, fire executives, and logical, photographic and review instruments like magnifying instruments, telescopes, cameras, projectors, theodolites and so on. An uncommon task given to the Institute by the Planning Commission was to work out the procedure innovation for creation of optical glass with the end goal of making the nation free of imports in regard of this material. Optical glass was delivered in just a couple of nations of the world and its creation innovation was kept as a painstakingly watched mystery. It is in fact a matter of pride that the Institute prevailing with regards to building up the subtleties of the innovation including structure and manufacture of the required gear with no outside coordinated effort. The Institute's pilot plant with a yearly limit of 10 tons went into generation in 1961.
