The Plastindia Foundation, which received India’s Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers, Ananth Kumar and his wife Tejaswini Kumar at the K exhibition in Dusseldorf, Germany as they arrived at the world’s largest exhibition on plastics, organizes the world’s third largest plastics exhibition known as Plastindia, which is next scheduled to take place in Ahmedabad in 2018. Almost simultaneously, the organization is planning the Plastindia International University, which is said to be the only plastics university in the world on an already allotted 37-acre plot of land near Vapi, Gujarat. The project was recently notified under the Gujarat Private Universities Act.
