The successful foundation of any industry is based on the human resources and the skill sets they possess . Bioscience sector is no different ! While there is no dearth of government and private educational institutes in India , the industry still isn ' t satisfied with the quality and expertise required by it . Therefore , there seems to be wide gap between the demand and expectations .

Keeping this in view , the BioVoice News Team decided to undertake a big online perception survey for the biotech students . The objective is to get the first-hand information from the ground zero . This is for the first time , such an exercise with easy feedback format is being conducted in the online space . One may ask why students and even why online ? The initiative is driven by the need to bridge the whatever gaps exist within education system . This cannot be possible without direct feedback from the students . Given the feasibility of web survey ' s quick and hassle free format , it was chosen for the current exercise .
