ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY
It all started in 1920 with the establishment of the Government Research Institute, Cawnpore (Kanpur) by the efforts and great
determination of Sir Spencer Harcourt Butler, the then Governor of United Provinces (present Uttar Pradesh). Next year,
Institute was renamed as Government Technical Institute and its foundation stone was laid on November 25, 1921. Later on,
Institute was given its all famous name – Harcourt Butler Technological Institute (HBTI) in 1926. The onwards march
continued with vigour and HBTI since 1921, has always been a paragon and a source of inspiration in the field of science and
technology. It has maintained its conspicuous presence in the technical world. HBTI has a history of realization and fulfilment
of necessities and advancement as per current needs. It is dedicated to the cause of rapid industrial development, creating a
healthy environment for applied researches and, above all, to carve out men and women, having a truly rational and scientific
demeanour. ‘Attitude’ is the watchword – taking care of which, the personality of every harcourtian is moulded. Its roots are
as deep as its outlook. We built a legacy over a period of time and autonomous status was granted to HBTI in 1965. Now, as per
Act No. 11 of 2016 by the government of Uttar Pradesh it is upgraded to University, i.e, Harcourt Butler Technical University,
Kanpur (HBTU, Kanpur). The University has been established with a view for making it a leading Residential University w.e.f
01.09.2016 to become a “Centre of Excellence” with focus on Research and Development and Incubation in the field of
Engineering, Technology, Basic & Applied Sciences, Humanities, Social Science & Management and other professional courses.
HBTU, Kanpur aims to promote studies, research & innovation in engineering areas of higher education, to enhance skill
development through continuing education programme and to achieve excellence in higher technical education.

of research projects sponsored by National funding agencies viz. AICTE, DST, CSIR, UPCST etc. The department
had successfully completed a prestigious Indo-Canadian partnership project in collaboration with University of
Guelph, Canada. Besides this, Centre of Excellence on "Applied Research Training and Education in Lipid Science"
has been established in the department under TEQIP-II (World Bank Project) in which a new state-of-the-art
laboratory named, Advanced Surfactant Laboratory has been established. The Department has also signed MoU
with a number of industries viz. M/s Ruchi Soya Industries Ltd., Mumbai, M/s FARELABS, Gurgaon, Dinesh Shahra
