The university will provide training to 2,000 people in the first year.  A facility to provide training for 20,000 people every year will be developed in a phased manner, the proposal is to set up regional campuses (satellite campuses) in district centres along with the main campus at Engineering Staff College campus in Hyderabad. 

The Chief Minister pointed out that the students will prefer and compete to join Hyderabad campus instead of choosing the  district centres.  The CM asked the officials to make arrangements to provide training for all in Hyderabad only and provide required infrastructure facilities at the NAC campus and other premises also.  Officials have been asked to visit and inspect the facilities at Swami Ramananda Tirtha Rural Institute in Bhoodan Pochampally.
