To meet the emerging need of Indian Rubber Industry, the Governing Council of IRI revisited Vision and Mission Statement and formulated the new Vision and Mission Statement.

VISION STATEMENT

TO BECOME A PREMIER INSTITUTE OF GLOBAL REPUTE IN RUBBER TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION, TRAINING AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT IN THE ASIA PACIFIC REGION

MISSION STATEMENT

TO SUPPORT THE PROFESSIONAL GROWTH OF PERSONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RUBBER AND ALLIED INDUSTRIES BY PROVIDING THEM THE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES OF KNOWLWEDGE AND SKILL UPGRADATION IN ASSOCIATION WITH INSTITUTES OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE AND TO ENHANCE THE NETWORKING AMONG THE GLOBAL RUBBER FRATERNITY BY ORGANISING INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL CONFERENCES, SEMINARS AND WORKSHOPS IN ASSOCIATION WITH NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL PROFESSIONAL BODIES

The educational programmes have always been the prime objective and focus of the PRI Indian Section (Rubber). It provides specialised training to its members attached to the industry, especially those who have not had adequate opportunity

to attend graduate and post graduate course at universities and Indian Institute of Technologies (IITs). A large section of members throughout the country have advantageously availed of this special facility. This has been the principal contribution of PRI Indian Section (Rubber) and its successor the IRI, towards technological and scientific development of the Indian rubber industry across the tyre and non-tyre sectors.

During 1987, the PRI U.K. underwent further restructuring and by 1992 PRI, U.K. was liquidated and merged with the Institute of Materials, U.K. Her Majesty the Queen is its Chief Patron. The Institute of Materials has now become the Institute
of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) on merger with the Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (IOM).
