He said the level and the earnest of the SAMARTH initiative could be gauged from the fact that the cooperation for the same was sought from Germany during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to that country last year.

All these centers will become self sustainable within three years.
They have been mandated to cover nearby clusters and colleges.
