FORMATION OF UPASI KVK: UPASI set up a Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) in 1983 under the auspices of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), with the main objective of promoting the cultivation of tea specific to the hilly, rural areas of the Nilgiris, imparting training on scientific crop husbandry techniques and allied subjects to the small farmers, estate workers and economically weaker sections. THE TEA RESEARCH INSTITUTE: 
The UPASI Tea Research Institute (TRI) is located near the Nirar Dam in Valparai, Coimbatore District of Tamil Nadu. The Institute is 120 km from Coimbatore city, 80 km from Pollachi and 12 km from Valparai town. Situated at an altitude of 1050 m above MSL, the average annual rainfall in the area is 400 cm. The maximum and minimum temperatures vary from 30°C to 12°C and relative humidity from 90 to 50 per cent. Occasionally temperatures drop even to 7°C or 6°C. Out of the 63.3 ha available to the Tea Experimental Farm, 36 ha are planted, mostly with clonal teas. Additionally, the Tea Board has handed over 36.4 ha adjoining this area. Work is under way in planting this area with all the available tea clones, Camellia species and all other genotypes to establish a germplasm bank.
