Bulk Drug Manufacturers Association To Set Up Technology and Training Centre

Bulk Drug Manufacturers Association: BDMA is setting up a Technology and Training
center at Jeedimetla, Hyderabad which is located in Pharma Cluster. This is first of
its kind in the country where an industry association is coming forward to establish a
skill up gradation center to the employees of their industry. The proposed facility is
coming up on a one acre land allotted on long lease by TSIIC and will be operational
from April 2023.

The Technology center will act as a centralized location for high end research and
testing. The proposed facility will strengthen the role of the Pharma Cluster as a
collaborative and competitive landscape for Pharmaceutical manufacturing to push
the sector to newer heights. The proposed facility will also act as a knowledge center
for the sector to stay updated with the new research and innovations around the
world.

Mr. R K Agrawal, National President BDMA said “The Training center is aimed at
providing specific training to manpower engaged in the manufacturing operations
and quality control in API industry. Training will be given to fresh graduates making
them suitable for bulk drug industry where member units can train their new recruits.
Also specialized training will be given to existing staff to upgrade their skills in the
pharma sector. There is huge requirement of skilled manpower in view of upcoming
Hyderabad Pharma City and industry growth.
The entire state of the art facility is being put up with contributions from member
industries. We are happy to announce that yesterday, Dr. B Parthasaradhi Reddy,
Chairman, Hetero Group donated Rs One crore and expect many more big units will
come forward with contributions and make this facility a role model.
