Industry-friendly Biotech Policy Unveiled

Two years ago, BioSpectrum was launched in March 2003 with the Cover Story "Wanted: A National Biotechnology Policy." Now exactly two years later, the nation has been presented with a comprehensive biotechnology policy. The DBT secretary, Dr M K Bhan and science and technology minister, Kapil Sibal have been the prime movers behind the scenes to ensure that the policy was formulated in the last few months.

Industry Wants Predictable Biotech Policies, Regulations

The national biotech policy would be drafted by a 27-member committee headed by Dr MK Bhan, secretary, Department of Biotechnology (DBT). The policy is likely to be announced in January 2005. Discussions and parleys are on to arrive at a comprehensive policy. BioSpectrum hosted a quick roundtable on the eve of "BioSpectrum Awards Nite" on December 10, 2004 as Dr Bhan and several other leading industry leaders confirmed their presence to attend the function. And this could serve as a forum to make some quick suggestions for the Policy-in-making.
