Over the past few decades, the interdisciplinary field of Biotechnology has revolutionised the knowledge and technology driven economy, with numerous paradigm-shifting discoveries in healthcare, agriculture, and environmental protection. With the present expansions in knowledge base, skilled workforce, and research and development (R&D) infrastructure, India is well-positioned to play a major role in biotechnology to address global concerns and improve quality of life.
