Time

Planned activities

First Year

Augmentation of the resources for TBI and finalization of

policy matters. Advertisement of its activities and
organization of relevant training/workshop etc. Screening of
ideas of potential incubate and initiation of incubation
process.

Second Year

Additional lab space will be created to augment the need of

TBI in the field of Biotechnology. Scouting and processing of
highly scientific areas among student and staff and others of
the region for increasing the number of incubate companies
in proposed TBI. All the other relevant activities, viz.
training, seminars, augmentation of technical needs of the
SMEs of the region, together with enhanced incubation
process towards realization of the goals of the TBI at IT,
BHU.

Third Year

Completion of infrastructural requirement of TBI. Incubation

of the selected ideas, technical support to existing
entrepreneurs of the region dealing in thrust area of TBI. The
effort will be made so that at least ten to fifteen incubate
companies can establish by the time. All other related
activities will continue simultaneously.
