KEY INDUSTRIES – BIOTECHNOLOGY

Home to a variety of flora and fauna and rare species of plants and

animals, Uttarakhand has a natural advantage in the sector.

The state accords an industry status to the units coming under this

sector (policy provisions applicable to the IT sector are applicable to

this sector) and aims to establish an internationally competitive

business infrastructure and environment for developing this industry.

During 2015-16, for the popularization of Fish Poultry Vegetable

integrated farming, a project has been implemented at the Krishi

Vigyan Kendras of Champawat and Lohaghat districts of the state.

In addition, a project for the development of flood affected areas,

through biotechnological interventions, of the state has also been

implemented in Himalayan Environmental Studies & Conservation

Organisation of Dehradun.

As per budget 2016-17, the state government has decided to select

20 villages of the state for plantation of medicinal herbs.

Zaneka Healthcare Pvt Ltd, Planet Herbs Lifesciences Pvt. Ltd.,

Olefia biopharma Limited are the major biotech companies functional

in the state.

New initiatives

Creation of biosafety measures in the state

In order to promote tissue culture oriented crops of kiwis, cashew nuts,

bananas and flowers, a joint venture between Uttarakhad Horticulture

Department and Uttarakhand Council for Biotechnology (UCB) has been

UCB established a high tech web portal with international visibility to attract

biotech/biopharma industries in Uttarakhand.

UCB established an environmental biotechnology laboratory for the

continuous monitoring of the climate in the line of biotechnology. The

laboratory is based on ARIES, DST and ISRO.

In order to develop smart kits for rapid detection of disease in plants,

humans and animals, a molecular diagnostic and biosensor research

SINGLE–WINDOW CLEARANCE MECHANISM

The IT enabled single-window contract facility is available under a two-tier system:

• The District Industrial Centres (DIC) at the district-level.

• SIDCUL at the state-level.

These centres are responsible for providing information and escort services to entrepreneurs. They also maintain a data bank. Single window

mechanism increases the efficiency through time and cost savings for both the traders and the government. The mechanism offers one single

platform wherein parties, involved in trade and transport, lodge information and the required documents at a single point of entry.

The Government of Uttarakhand announced the implementation of single window clearance system in the MSME (medium, small and micro

enterprises) policy introduced in 2015.

In addition, the Uttarakhand state government introduced Uttarakhand Film Policy-2015 in October 2015, that aims at offering single window

clearance or hassle free clearance to the requests or applications for shooting, tourism promotion, etc. For instance, the policy along with

implementation of such mechanisms is expected to offer ease to the citizens and also generate employment opportunities.

Approvals for establishment of ventures is given in 15 days and the deadline for approvals has been set at 30 days. All approvals are provided

online.

State government has proposed an investment plan of Rs 554.00 crore (US$ 85.96 million) through single window system, which will result in

employment generation opportunities for around 500 people.
