CM Chandrababu Naidu said a genome valley would be set up between the Visakhapatnam and East Godavari districts to boost the State's pharmaceutical sector.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu said that the government had plans to set up a genome valley between the Visakhapatnam and East Godavari districts to boost the pharmaceutical sector in the State.
The Chief Minister said that the Government of AP would appoint a nodal officer for this.
A group of pharma experts including Dr C R Naidu, J Venkat, R Narasimha Raju, Jayant Tagore, Narayana Reddy and others met the Chief Minister at the Lake View Guest House and requested that the AP government provide all the infrastructure facilities required to make AP a pharma hub.
Recalling how his government had set up a task force in united AP in 2004, Chandrababu Naidu said that a similar wing would be set up in AP to make the state one of the biggest pharmaceutical hubs in the country.
