The ILST shall be a nodal center of excellence for furthering multi-disciplinary efforts in biology-related areas addressing both the fundamental and applied aspects of life sciences. It will foster a global outlook, yet at the same time be firmly rooted to the reality of Indian heritage. With a large base of skilled and cost competitive scientific knowledge workforce through creation of the ILS&T, easy availability of raw material such as plants and animals, and human genetic diversity, and a well-conceived scientific infrastructure with strategic networking along with research laboratories, development of the ILS&T can enable Madhya Pradesh state to gradually become a leading player in Biotechnology.
