Biotechnology is a very old technology in the world and more specifically used by Indians since the olden times, the very good classical example is IDLY. (The fermentation and sterilization Process). I will wriet the technology behind IDLY in next writing.
In India the field of Biotechnology is not opened widely, but it seems there are possibilities of bright future for the field. The main reason behind this is
1. Not enough qualified professionals
2. Qualified persons are opting to go abroad
3. Funds inadequacy
4. Lack of basic infrasturucture (viz., research labs, research papers lacking in universities and colleges)
India has enormous potential to become No.1 in biotechnology, but these barriers are in front of that. So as to overcome this the Indian government is offering numerous schemes, in this case the scenario is there is no awareness among the researchers to utilise the funds. Eventhough they are having good knowledge in the subject they are lagging in "how to utilise the funds". We can see either in DBT website or DST website or any other funding agency website, many applications for funding has been rejected due to inadequate datas.
So as to overcome these problems suitable awareness has to be made, so that all can be utilize all opportunities.
