Bangladesh Science Minister: Strengthen Biotech Research
July 24, 2009| |
Biotechnologists should be inspired by the spirit of serving the country and the people at the grassroots level. This was the call of Bangladesh Science and Information and Communication Technology Minister Yeafesh Osman during the Biotech Round Table Conference on Present Status of Biotechnology and its Possible Solution in Dhaka last July 15, 2009. He said that biotech research should be strengthened to attain food sufficiency in the country. Over 100 participants from various government research organizations and universities attended the workshop which aimed to discuss potentials for biotechnology in Bangladesh.
