Origin & Evolution of Kerala Chapter

Kerala Chapter was the 7th Chapter of NIPM in the country.

FACT Ltd, Travancore Cochin Chemicals Ltd, Indian Rare Earths Ltd, Hindustan Insecticides Ltd, located at Udyogamandal, Tata Oil Mills company Ltd at Tatapurm and Indian Aluminium Co.Ltd at Alupuram, Cochin was mainly a trade and business center. The activities, where therefore confined to occasional get togethers till new Industrial Establishments like M/s. HMT Ltd, Premier Tyres Ltd, Cochin Refineries Ltd, Cochin Shipyard Ltd and Carborandum Universal Ltd came into existence followed by many large scale and medium size establishments in the second half of 1960's. This heralded a new era in the industrial history of Cochin, which resulted in the outbreak of new professional style in Personnel Management.
