Ministry of Science and Technology launched the Support for Up-gradation Preventive Repair and Maintenance of Equipment (SUPREME) initiative recently.
It seeks to provide financial support for the upgradation and maintenance of analytical instrumentation facilities (AIFs) created under the ministry’s support.
It is a first-of-its-kind programme to extends financial support for repair, upgradation, maintenance, retrofitting, or acquiring additional attachments.
The duration of support will be for a period not exceeding 3 years.
The funding pattern in the scheme would be 75:25 for all private and government-owned institutions.
