So, the Government of India then established the Imperial Institute of Sugar Technology after taking over the Sugar Section of the Hardcore Butler Technological Institute (HBTI), Kanpur. But after the Independence of India, the Institute’s name has been changed to National Sugar Institute in April 1957.
