Thane, Oct 6 (UNI) Chairman of the Committee on the Status of the Tribal Schemes in Maharashtra and former MLA Vivek Pandit on Tuesday called for strengthening the Tribal Research and Training Institute (TRTI), which plays a vital role in the policy decisions in the state and at the Centre.
While talking to the media here after a virtual review of the work being done by TRTI, he said that the research being done by the Institute will go a long way in supporting the policy decisions and programmes of the government, both in the state and at the Centre, and hence it needs to be strengthened.
He further said that TRTI being an autonomous body can get funds from various sources, including the government and from agencies and even under the corporate social responsibility programme to carry out the survey and research.
