The principal landmark
in the history of tea research in south India, was the establishment
of a Tea Experimental Station in Gudalur in 1926. During the
last seven and half decades, this research organisation, now
known as the UPASI Tea Research Foundation (UPASI TRF), had
rendered yeomen service to the tea industry in south India.
The remarkable achievements of the south Indian tea plantations
in the production and productivity of tea bear testimony to
the significant contribution of UPASI TRF in the fields of
research and extension.UPASI-TRF is notified as Public Authority
