No. 12/2017-CT (Rate) because the recipient, though under administrative control and funding of the State, is a separate legal entity registered as a society and cannot be treated as the Central/State Government or a Government Department. It may at best qualify as a Governmental Authority/Entity, but the training, skill development and capacity-building services supplied do not fall within the limited categories exempted under Entry 3B of Notif.
