Dear Sir,
This is a good hearing that Orissa is developing in the field of bio fuels. Lack of opportunity in biotech stream has pushed many bsc/btech/msc graduates into marketing and Outsourcing industry and unfortunately their knowledge remains unexplored. I am one of them working in a healthcare KPO(U.S)in Gurgaon and I would be glad to work in Orissa and for the people of Orissa.
