Solution

The decision by the central government to annul a call for proposals under the Department of Science and Technology (DST)'s SATHI program has raised concerns within higher education institutions. The Sophisticated Analytical & Technical Help Institutes (SATHI) initiative, launched by the Department of Science and Technology, seeks to enhance access to research and testing facilities. Its primary objectives include addressing issues related to accessibility, maintenance, redundancy, and duplication of costly equipment in institutions. The program aims to establish a shared and professionally managed Science and Technology (S&T) infrastructure facility, providing easy access to academia, start-ups, manufacturing units, industries, and research and development labs
