 WEAKNESS
 Over the years, the infrastructure of the scientific

laboratories in the State Universities and institutions

has deteriorated due to a lack of a goal oriented policy
and visionary approach.
 The institutes have not been able to deliver the

products in terms of human resource and technologies

which would find application in the field. This led to a
low agricultural growth, low scientific output of papers
and patents and little ecognition of scientists at
national and international levels.
 … WEAKNESS

 The infrastructure is totally inadequate in comparison

to other States. The State also lacks sustainability in
terms of well identified programmes, their
implementation and rigorous monitoring.
 Also, there is very little utilization of the existing
scientific infrastructure while drawing schemes in
agriculture, horticulture and infrastructure
development.
 The scientific institutions owned by the State, State
Universities and the Central Universities
andnstitutions can play an important role if a
mechanism is established and used.
 OPPORTUNITIES
Besides the core sectors of Science & Technology, the
Government of India has chalked out policies supporting
research in modern areas of Science and Technologies.
Few Examples:
 The budget of DBT over the next 5 years will increase by
450% and DBT will spend 30% of its budget on innovative
projects in partnership with industry.
 Recently announced National Biotechnology Development
Strategy aims to:
• Establish an Ecosystem of Innovation
• Develop Quality Human Resource & Infrastructure
• Promote R&D in Small and Medium Enterprises
 …. OPPORTUNITIES

 To achieve this Government has taken several initiatives, including

setting up of Biotech Parks and incubators, enabling public institutions
to work with industry, expansion of SBIRI scheme, etc.
 The DBT has enhanced its budget for supporting the infrastructure
facilities for drug discovery and drug development which includes
setting up of national facilities in partnership with Government
institutions and industry.
 To promote Nanotechnology, a Nano Science and Technology Mission
(NSTM), to make country a global hub for nanoscience and
nanotechnology, has been setup, the objectives of which are
• Basic Research Promotion
• Infrastructure Development for Nano Science and Technology
Research
• Nano Applications and Technology Development Programmes
• Human Resource Development
• International Collaborations
 …. OPPORTUNITIES

 Department of Science and Technology (DST) is also setting up

Nanotechnology R&D centres at Bangalore, Kolkata and Mohali
 National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research
(NIPER), Mohali developing nanotechnology toxicity guidelines and a
laboratory for toxicity of newly-developed drugs.
 Central Scientific Instruments Organization (CSIO) devised
microdiagnostics kits for TB
 Defense Research and Development Establishment (DRDO), Gwalior
developed a Typhoid detection kit

NANO DEVICES
 Development of one dose a day ciprofloxacin
 Oral insulin formulation using nanoparticles carriers
 Liposomal based Amphotericin B formulation
 …. OPPORTUNITIES
NANOTECHNOLOGY IN TEXTILES
 Raymonds has had a big hit with its nano-treated trousers and is now
launching nano-shirts under the Park Avenue label
 Ashima Group has exported over 1 million yards of nano-treated
fabric to top retailers like Gap and Banana Republic
 Arrow has launched stain-resistant Nanotechnology shirts in Mumbai

NANOTECHNOLOGY IN FILTERATION
 IIT-Madras has released a water purifier using nanotechnology.
Technology used in the product is the very first and is home grown.
No nanoparticle based water purifier exists in the world as of now.

NANOTECHNOLOGY PARKS

Likewise, CSIR and ICMR have also several schemes for supporting
S&T in specified areas.
 …. OPPORTUNITIES

 The infrastructure development cost and support system cost in

Uttar Pradesh are much lower than the States like Karnataka,
Andhra, Maharastra and Gujarat. Therefore, industries are
moving into the 2nd tier States / cities where infrastructure is
available and the Governments are providing incentives,
concessions and playing a felicitator and catalytic role.
 The ex-patriots,NRIs and the industries from USA and Europe
are also exploring new destinations where they can access
collaborations and get support for the establishment i.e. a
single window mechanism for proccuring land, registration,
licenses, etc.
 The major interest worldwide is in the area of developing
diagnostics particularly for infectious diseases, treatment of
diabetes, cardiovascular, ageing, inflammatory reproductive
ailments and neurological disorders.
 Several companies are setting up CRO’s example Novo-
Novartis, Genzyme, etc.
 …. OPPORTUNITIES

 The improved IPR and relaxation of FDI on one hand and

recognized expertise of Indian scientists as well as the

quality control are other enabling factors to advance

science and technology and their applications in industry.

 Setting up of Biotech Park Lucknow has attracted 15 new

companies of which five are of US origin. Big giants like

Biocon, India recently approached Biotech Park for 20

acres of land to setup their R&D Center.

 …. OPPORTUNITIES

 Investors like International Biotechnology Invest

Corporation, Boston, USA are keen to set up an Institute

of Biopharma and Biotechnology and industrial biopharma

Cluster in Lucknow.
 Ansals Private,Limited are setting up SEZ for IT and

Biotechnology
 The State has a stable Government for five years and

therefore, there is a high time to utilize science and

technology for its development through a well chalked out

road map.
 THREATS
 As the Uttar Pradesh is the largest and most populous
State, it has the maximum number of young people i.e. a
valuable human resource. This human resource is one of
the factors attracting several developed countries towards
India. However, if they are not adequately trained and
gainfully employed or encouraged to setup their own
industries, they will move out from the State. Already, due
to lack of educational institutions offering courses in new
disciplines, a majority of students are going out of the State
to other States like Andhra, Karnataka, Maharastra, Gujarat,
etc.
 …THREATS

 Other States have drawn and implemented industrial,

biotechnology, nanotechnology policies for the States.

These policies are being updated also.

 Biotechnology Policy announced in 2004 by the

Government of Uttar Pradesh not only needs to be updated

but also implemented with the issue of necessary GO’s. The

strength of State in major scientific institutions are not

known all over the country and world as there is no

sustained programme for showcasing the State Science

and Technology strengths, commitments, policies, etc.

 ROAD MAP

1. Human Resource Development

All over the country there is dearth of talent and human

resource in upcoming new areas

• Biotechnology- biopharma, bioagri and industrial

biotechnology
• Information Technology- As applicable to drug

development, toxicology, agriculture

• Nanotechnology- drug delivery, monitoring,

diagnosis, sensors, etc.

 Human Resource Development

Create institutions with scope of expansion e.g.

 Institute of Biopharma and Biotechnology for Post Doctoral
and Doctoral Training
 Food Processing and Food Technology
 Advance Centre for Research Application
Set up an Advanced Centre for Research Application on lines of
Jawahar Lal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research,
Bangalore. It should provide facilities for innovative research in
the emerging fields of genomics, proteomics, nanotechnology
and biotechnology as applicable for over all upliftment of the
State and providing good health and clean environment.
 Centre for Transgenic Plants and Animals
 Human Resource Development
 National facility for Safety Evaluation of Biopharma and Biotech
Products
In North India adequate facilities for undertaking safety evaluation
of biotech products is not available. With the setting up of Biotech
Park, Lucknow and increasing activity in the Pharma Biotech
sector, a large number of new products are being developed.
Before introducing them into the market, generation of data on
their safety / toxicity is essential.
 Biotechnology Training Centres
One centre be established at Lucknow utilizing expertise and
facilities available with CSIR / ICAR laboratories. The other three
centres be developed at Gorakhpur, Jhansi and Meerut or other
places as per States priority
 Institute 200 trainee fellowships like BCIL for training in
biopharma, agritechnology and biotechnology, nanotechnology.
The trainees be paid Rs. 8000/- p.m. and the industries Rs. 50,000
p.a. National facility for Safety
2. Enabling and Translating Research
 Set up technology incubators (atleast 5 by the end of
this XIth Plan).
 Common facilities for analysis, synthetic
compounds, screening of biological activity,
safety evaluation and toxicity testing.
 Common facilities for separation of molecules,
sequencing, preparation of molecular probes
and production of proteins in bulk quantities.
 Common facilities for genetic improvement,
tissue culture, transgenic production
3. Enabling Industries
 Set up Industrial Parks / Biotech Parks / Pharma

Parks / IT Parks / Agri Parks and Food Parks

 These should be set at places depending upon

the existing strength and availability of raw

material
 These should be set up in partnership with the

industries. The common facilities like

analytical support, quality control support, etc.
could be provided by the State / Central
Government.
4. Promoting Science & Tech. for Rural Development
The State has knowledge base institutions of excellence to
develop as a bio-business hub in North India like Andhra,
Karnataka, Maharastra and Gujarat. Inadequate scientific
infrastructure for technology dissemination, demonstration
and utilization at divisional and district levels has limited the
growth of science and technology in the State and adoption of
scientific leads.

Set up 17 bio centres, one (anywhere) in each division on

easily sparable land of UPSIDC industrial estates – The one of
Lucknow division be established in Lucknow Industrial
Development Authority (LIDA) in an area of 250 acres.
 VISION GROUP / STRATEGY PLANNING GROUP /
STEERING COMMITTEE
