The State Centre has its own building constructed on the plot of land of approximately 2658 Sq. yards leased by the Government of Maharashtra.
The Maharashtra State Centre has always been actively associated with the growth of Maharashtra State.
The Centre has effectively carried out its main function of bringing together all the concerned disciplines and highlighting the various options available for solving the problems which arise from time to time.
The Centre has the expertise of most advanced technologies and had assisted the Maharashtra State Government, Brihan Mumbai Municipal Corporation and large and small industries in tackling specific problems.
The Centre with a vast industrial base around can act as a catalyst to bring into its hold of this august body, large number of degree holders, diploma holders, technicians, craftsmen, who have shied away from their role in society for a long time.
With the new dimensions given to national economy and enthusiasm created in the youth of the community, the engineers will be the forerunners in meeting challenges of tomorrow. The Centre in the next few years will have to provide infrastructure and consolidate achievements of the past several years.
