TESTING
MSME Technology Centre, formerly known as Process and Product Development Centre (PPDC), Agra, is a premier institution established in 1985 by the Government of India in collaboration with the Government of Uttar Pradesh and UNDP/UNIDO. Dedicated to the technological advancement of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), particularly in the Foundry and Forging sectors, the Centre plays a pivotal role in enhancing industrial competitiveness and innovation. Since becoming an autonomous body in 1986, PPDC has evolved into a hub for cutting-edge training, precision tooling, product development, and consultancy services.
