    Re: Govt to step up pharma research in country
    Helo Everyone,

    The government has decided to adopt a two-pronged approach to step up the pace of pharmaceutical research in the country. This will include tie-ups with reputed overseas universities for collaborative research and education programmes, as well as setting up innovation centres at the six new National Institutes of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (Nipers), which are proposed to be set up.

    One Niper is already up and running at Mohali, under the Department of Pharmaceuticals. This institute is in advanced talks with the Imperial College of London, University of Cambridge, Cardiff University of Wales, UK and the Emiline University in the US for initiating short-term courses and for initiating collaborative research, according to Ashok Kumar, secretary, Department of Pharmaceuticals.

    "Our role will be that of a facilitator to create more human capital for the industry as part of the vision to make the Indian pharmaceutical industry a $50-billion (over Rs 2,31,000-crore) sector within five years from the current $20 billion (over Rs 92,000 crore)," Kumar said on the sidelines of the India Pharma Summit organised recently by the Department of Pharmaceuticals and Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry.

    Niper, Mohali has already tied up with the University of Helsinki, Finland for collaborative research programmes in association with Systems Biologics Worldwide and with Genzyme, one of the world's largest biotechnology companies, for two fellowship programmes in biotechnology.

    The centre trains about 500 professionals every year in advanced pharmaceutical courses and the proposed six new Nipers coming up at Ahmedabad, Hajipur, Hyderabad, Calcutta, Rai Bareilli and Guwahati will train 3,500-4,000 professionals every year, according to Arun Jha and Devendra Chaudhary, joint secretaries, Department of Pharmaceuticals.

    Re^2: How to Enable Business Value through Effective Service Management
    Hello Everyone,

    Most companies enter into IT project engagements with a complete understanding of what value they wish to derive and the requirements these projects fulfill. Yet it so happens that despite successfully delivering the IT project, companies notice that the value they expected is left wanting. It was to address this issue that NASSCOM Emerge conducted a session on ‘Enabling Business Value through Effective Service Management’ at their Friday 2.0 meetup on 14th May at Taj Deccan, Hyderabad.

    The session was conducted by Mr Sandeep Gondhalekar, Director-Consulting at Quint Wellington Redwood.
