Moreover, the regime lacks timely amendments and congruous implementation of rules. The Centre recognizes and acknowledges an up-gradation to the field and readily seeks to divulge into prepping for instruments to deal with modern perforating complications and strives for development and dissemination of knowledge and expertise, firmly equipped with the zeal to take the relevancy to a higher dais.
