The untrained graduates, working as the teachers in post-basic secondary schools-lokshalas for many years, required to have training at the then available centers- Graduate Basic Training Center (GBTC)- of Mangrol, Rajpipala and Ahmedabad. These centers were started by the visionary Chief Minister of the bilingual Mumbai State Shri Balasaheb Kher in Maharashtra and Gujarat, for imparting the training to the teaching and administrative staff of Nai Taleem Adhyapan Mandir. The State Government of Gujarat administrated those centers and the Gujarat State examination Board had authority to conduct the examination and issuing certificates. 
            The founders of Lokbharti considered the importance of training of three responsible persons: farmers, Gram-sevak-the village secretary and teachers, for the rural-welfare constructive programmes. To meet this requirement, Snatak Nai Taleem Kendra (GBTC), a complete residential center, was started at Shetruji Dam site campus of Lokbharti in 1969.
            This training center was shifted to Lokbharti, Sanosara in 1972. The center was recognized by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) in 2000 and also got affiliation with the Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University in 2006 as ordered by the Education Department of Gujarat Government. The center was named as Snatak Nai Taleem Mahavidyalaya. After the affiliation with the university, the trainees have been conferred the degree of B.Ed. (Basic). The admission process follows the rules and regulations laid by the University and NCTE. This one-year course after graduation offers teaching methods of Agriculture, Hindi, Gujarati, Science, Mathematics, English and some optional subjects. The course has been following the semester system since 2006-07 as directed by the U.G.C.
