Modi, on November 8, had wielded a spade to remove silt deposited at the Assi Ghat along the banks of the Ganga as part of his 'Swachh Bharat' campaign.
The Prime Minister had worked through an uneven muddy track to reach a makeshift stage where five priests were waiting for him to assist him in a special Ganga puja.
The centre is expected to function as an autonomous body, the details of which will be spelt out during the Prime Minister's visit to the campus.
At the BHU, Modi is also expected to launch Varanasi Mahotsav.
While in Varanasi, the Prime Minister will also lay the foundation stone for expansion of the Diesel Locomotive Works factory.
