8 UNIVERSITY NEWS, 56(23) JUNE 04-10, 2018 * Dean (Academics), Maulana Azad National Urdu University(MANUU), Hyderabad-500032 (Telangana) ** Joint Secretary, University Grants Commission, B S Zafar Marg, New Delhi-110 002 ***Pro-Vice Chancellor, Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU), Hyderabad-500032 (Telangana) The competent human capital is the most crucial asset to emerge as one of the very strong economic, stable and secured nations. The country has to make such policies to nourish many talents of the most brilliant minds which have been in high global demand. Further, leverage the energies and abilities of individuals and groups into economic opportunities. The Higher Education Research Institutions, especially the universities must be in the forefront for developing integrated human resources in multidisciplinary areas. This requires in creating enhanced interest among career aspirants through a state-of-art infrastructure, trained faculty and a well-designed curriculum with industrial training consisting of life science advanced research and education. Biotechnology is a most fascinating field occupying a pivotal role in knowledge economy for the past few decades and rapidly advancing together with the cutting-edge life sciences and holds growing impact of implementing green growth strategies of different knowledge branches of science, engineering and technology in the areas of agriculture, environment, medicine, energy and industry.The society has great expectations over the advances in biotechnology to perform other big roles for sustainable development that will enrich human lives. In recent years India's indigenous biotech sector evolving intoa world class bio-manufacturing hub with more than 40 National Research Institutes working in the area of biotechnology development. The country's new draft policy document has pitched for setting up strong research infrastructure so that itwill encourage the commercialization of technologies emanated under global regimes for a more responsible innovation in biotech-sphere while protecting intellectual property. There is an immense potential for growth of biopharmaceuticals, bio-agriculture and bio-energy sectors with a combined turnover set to cross $ 12 billion per year in revenue.Among top 10 biotech companies seven of them pharmaceutical and three of Human Resource Development in Biotechnology A R Nath*, Archana Thakur** and Shakeel Ahmad*** them agriculture sector industries. The strategic paper on released by the Department of Biotechnology (Government of India) reveals that the Government has to invest US$ 5 billion to develop human capital, infrastructure and research initiatives, if it is to realise the dream of growing the sector into a US$ 100 billion market by 2025. Further, the launching of number of academic courses in universities, setting up multi- disciplinary centres around existing institutions in collaboration with industry across the country enable to develop the man power in biotech sector specialized in the field of drug discovery, nutraceuticals, stem cell, gene therapy, biosimilars and transgenic animals and plants to address the unmet needs. The development of competent human resources in biotechnology will enable to prepare countries for the economy of the future through better performance and productivity. The biotech policy of India estimated to create 2 million "industry ready biotechnology manpower" by 2020. The trained and quality manpower in biotechnology helps in establishing the hypotheses for manufacture of novel products, formulate new biological functions and develop environmental clean- up systems, and otherwise makes life science useful to everyday life. Any expenditure on biotechnology education will lead to greater efficiency among life science professionals and it is being treated as a long term valuable smart investment that not only for physical and knowledge but also human capital. This will enhance the abilities of manpower with creative skills, work attitudes and values, which results in considerable impact on developing societies in a changed global scenario. Scope and Objectives Human Resource Development mainly focuses on enhancing the human ability to learn and solve the problems, which requires provision of educated, trained and career oriented manpower to meet new challenges. These challenges include (1) competing in a global economy, (2) eliminating the skills gap, (3) increasing workforce diversity, (4) meeting the need for lifelong individual learning, (5) facilitating organizational culture, and (6) addressing ethical issues in a proactive manner. This paper mainly focuses on the nature of inputs required for desirable outcomes in the human
