Abstract

For many years, humankind has been incorporating biosciences in different places- from agriculture to food and medicine. Today, the nomenclature of biology has been recoined as Biotechnology, a technological science with a perfect blend of sophisticated techniques, manuals and application of fast delivery equipment and vehicles. It encompasses chemical engineering, bioprocess engineering, bioinformatics (computer aided biotechnological science), biosensor, robotics and many more. Biotechnology is so advanced that it requires multiple phased regulatory system to check the ethical issues in industry. In raising the biotechnology industry, the government has extended support like financial assistance and infrastructure. But to transform any industry there is a great demand from industry/academia to come and share knowledge and upgrade the demands as industrial products and services. On this road map to industrial development and its strengthening, academia needs to focus on policies framework and plan for a better industrial maneuvers to achieve set goals.

Key words: Indian Biotechnology Industry, industry academia linkage, strengthening indian biotechnology, academic reforms.
