They said that the aim is not only to bridge the gap but also to make the Centre World-class for Bicycle design, development and demonstration, testing and certification, additive manufacturing (Digital, loT and 3D printers, etc). They requested the chief secretary to consider the proposal and raise the issue with the Government of India.
