An international consultancy firm will be in charge of setting up the centers at costs beginning from Rs 15 crores to Rs 20 crores, with an action plan to make them operational in the current financial year. A centre of this type has already been operational in Bhopal.

The Pune centre is slated to be the largest of the four centers
