Biotechnology

In recent years, all the inventions that promise to make our life on this earth easier are from life sciences. Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology is the most remarkable field in this regard. Biotechnology ensures sustainable development. Just a few days back, Bangladeshi scientist Dr. Maksudul Alam made a breakthrough in elucidating the genome sequence of jute. It reflects the prospect of biotechnology in our national economy, health, environment etc. But unfortunately extensive research and studies are not done on biotechnology in all the universities. Research in this field is very expensive and requires proper patronization from the govt. Private sector investment needs to be encouraged. Most private universities run courses on BBA, MBA, computer science and other commercial fields. So the govt. should make it mandatory for private universities to conduct research and studies on Biotechnology & Genetic Engineering. Thus biotechnology will surely contribute to the development of Bangladesh.
