After infotech, bio-tech is the next best bet, says HP CM 

Charanjit Ahuja  
Baddi (HP): Himachal Pradesh chief minister Prem Kumar Dhumal is not eager to jump on to the infotech bandwagon for he thinks that the IT bubble will burst completely in a decade or so. It's the bio-technology revolution that is the best bet, he says.

At the inauguration of the third unit of MJ Enterprises Ltd here, Dhumal told The Financial Express that as part of his action plan, he had been to Bangalore to hardsell Himachal Pradesh as a huge resource of herbs and sustainable infrastructure.

He pointed out that the entrepreneurs could first set up IT units in Himachal Pradesh and subsequently switch over to bio-technology units.

Dhumal said that the state had constituted a task force comprising Himachal Agriculture University, Dr YS Parmar University, Himachal University and Indian Council of Research officials to do the ground work in connection with launch of bio-technology revolution before the state started wooing the industry.

Regarding the information technology policy of the state, he said that it would be framed within next two months followed by a bio-technology policy.
