ACTIVITIES OF STAI

OVERSEAS ACTIVITIES

To promote its objectives, STAI conducts seminars, workshops, conventions, prints proceedings. It also organises a study trip every year to the overseas sugar factories/research institutes in order to study their technology, work approach, technological innovations and to implement them within our system. In the recent past, the trips organised were to Cuba, South Africa, Mexico and Sao Paulo. Besides this, it has ambitious plans of globalising Indian Sugar Technology via technology transfers with countries like Australia, Brazil, South Africa, France and Mauritius. A dialogue has already been initiated with the above countries and institutes.

The STAI is the only affiliated association from India to the two world sugar bodies i.e. ISSCT (International Society of Sugar Cane Technologists') and ICUMSA (International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis)

ISSCT WORKSHOP

In Nov. - Dec. 1994, STAI successfully organised the prestigious ISSCT workshop at Pune. It was after a gap of nearly 38 years that any ISSCT venture had taken place in India. The workshop received an overwhelming response from both the Indian & Foreign delegates. Renowned sugar technologists both from India and overseas deliberated at the workshop.
