hi Way Ahead• To reach the unreached:

CeRA caters to 142 institutions in NARS. However, we have about 600 KVKs and 640 research stations which need CeRA facilities. Necessary steps are to be taken to cover all organizations associated with agricultural activities.

• To enhance the spectrum of knowledge:NARS being among the largest network engaged in agriculture research, education and extension having about 1500 nodes spread across length and breadth of the country. CeRA to take every effort to spread latest scientific knowledge (through e-Resources) to these nodes.
