As in the past, the NCB continues its focus on capacity building and training programmes. During

Scheme was valid for a period of 5 years i.e till 31.3.2009. Considering the need for continuation

this Scheme for a period of 5 years i.e from 2009-10 to 2013-14 with an estimated budget of
Rs.15 crore.

to extend the Scheme for a further period of 5 years i.e from 2014-15 to 2018-19 with an
estimated budget of Rs.25 Crore. But before such extension, the Scheme has to be evaluated by
