“The developed countries have a very high rate of skill sets. As the low rate outweighs the other factors in the economy, we cannot compromise on the same,” said Ranjit Madan, Chief Executive Officer, LSSSDC at the launch of a skill development project in Maharashtra.

Hub for pharma industries

The Andhra Pradesh Skill Development Corporation has also introduced a new programme to educate the students of biotechnology and pharma about the relevant knowledge and skills associated with their respective industries. The course has been designed by senior advisors of Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) and Biotechnology department, Government of India, along with Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT).

M Shankar Prasad, Convener of Task force committee on Biotechnology and Pharma Industry while addressing a press conference said, “Andhra Pradesh has to become a destination hub for biotechnology and pharma industries in the coming three years. After a thorough research with senior advisors across the country, we have come to a decision to form pharma and biotechnology clusters in the state to turn it into a hot destination for those fields. For that, we will focus on improving skills of the students to build highly qualified manpower. Similarly, we will focus on academics and industry experts.”

Making it count

The government has also undertaken the initiative to transform the National Institutes of Pharmaceutical Education & Research (NIPERs) as innovation hubs for skill development. The establishment of about three new NIPERs at Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan was recently announced by the centre.

With production costs lower than the US and almost half of Europe, India seems to have all the right parameters to stay competitive in the pharmaceutical field. For this, the country has to make every opportunity count and the time to act is now.
