'Chakra' of the Health University.
He asked the universities to work as centres of various subjects and stressed on making efforts to strengthen

acting as guides to other institutions.

useful to the common citizens, he said.

he said and added that the government will provide appropriate support to the university for the Digital Kumbh
and Health Kumbh projects as the Kumbh Mela will be held in Nashik.
