Mantralaya sources told The Financial Express that the task force would also comprise the vice-chancellor of Jawaharlal Nehru University A Datta, and the Pune University vice-chancellor and director of National Chemical Laboratories. The task force would primarily look into opportunities and potential for investment in bio-technology, the likely growth in this sector and the need for a special policy for an "hassle-free" environment. The government's decision to form such a task force is a follow-up of the recently announced new industrial and labour policy.
