The Centre is gearing itself to face the challenges posed by these changes, through research projects as well as new academic and training programs. C-TARA now has an M. Tech. Program in Technology and Development (started from July 2007) and an Ph.D Program. Apart from these programs, C-TARA also offers Technology and Development Supervised Learning courses to the B.Tech students across the Institute. C-TARA has over the years developed relations with various Governmental Departments at the Centre .

In subsequent years, C-TARA did many projects of increasing significance, among these was our interaction with KVIC, various engineering devices and tools, and the Gudwanwadi drinking water initiative. Based on this experience, in 2007, we started the M.Tech program in Technology and Development. This is an inter-disciplinary program which focuses on the training of the Development Professional, a position in increasing demand. The development agenda is now the key to the progress of India and its people.
