Vacancy as Principal Scientific Officer in Golden Jubilee Biotech Park for Women Society
UNDP-UNIFEM and M.S. SWAMINATHAN RESEARCH FOUNDATION organized a meeting of women scientists and technologists in 1996 at Chennai. The members and experts realized the inherent capabilities of women in management and the need for women entrepreneurship development became a prime concern. It was also felt necessary that resources and strength of women need to be channelised to develop their full potential. In order to give shape to these ideas, the concept for setting up of Women’s Biotechnology Park - a novel approach came up. This was also recognized as one of the priority areas identified by the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India. On recommendation of the task force on Biotechnology Based Programmes for Women and Rural Development constituted by DBT during 1997-98, the Biotech Park was included among the approved programs, in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of India’s Independence.
