Dear Editor ,
“ The cover story on budget 2017 was insightful . Good to know that the R & D budget of scientific institutes has been enhanced . The focus on agriculture is a much needed initiative . However , health budget requires a drastic increment . Hope the government keeps the important requirements of the corporate sector on top priority next time .” Rajesh Jogi , Mumbai ..................................................................................................
“ It was nice to read the Face to Face interview of Dr Dinakar Salunke , Director , ICGEB . His views on more communication from scientists are an eye opener for all the research institute heads . The most valid point was the one where he said that research institutes must not only be dependent on government money but try to generate support from other sources . BioVoice News deserves kudos for this .” Kavitha Ramamurthy , Chennai ..................................................................................................
