International Consortia Training

• Capacity building In important (Agricultural Bioinformatics and

Computational Biology)

• Provides international experience/exposure

• May accelerate research in agricultural biotechnology

• Motivates scientists/ researchers

• Leads to understand the complex biological process in agriculture

• Helps in development of superior varieties/breeds/product

• Increases productivity and production

Strength

Strength

• It provides opportunity to learn new things

• Provides international outlook

• Build international collaborations

• Open new horizon of opportunities

Weakness

• Selection of training organization is based on personal approach

• Training period is too short to learn new techniques/ tools

• Many times training may not be very appropriate for the consortia research

• Lack of interest of training supervisor.

• Some times it deviates scientists/ researchers from their own research field.

• Many times training areas are not absorbed appropriately in institutions

after end of consortia.

Need• All international collaborations including training should be governed by a

national policy

• Selection of training organization should be at the council level based on

capability of training organization.

• Identification of the field of training should be based on pre-set national

priorities.

• All trained manpower in a particular field should effectively used to solve

national problem

• Only scientists/researchers working in the relevant fields should be send

for training
