Surat in particular is dominated by textile industry and diamond cutting industry. Nearly 30 million meters of raw fabric and 25 million meters of processed fabric is produced in Surat daily.

This entire industrial corridor has been identified as most polluted region in the country, Ministry of environment and Forestry has put a ban on expansion of existing and on new chemical industries in most of these GIDCs. As result of the governments policy many CEPTs have come up in the region, there are many private pollution analysis labs in this region and all the industries need technically qualified people to monitor their effluents, All the pharmaceutical companies need manpower to evaluate the toxicity of their products, there are several Contract Research Organizations in need of manpower trained in toxicology. This proposed diploma aims to produce the trained manpower to the needs of the industry in the field of toxicology.

South Gujarat region starting from Vapi to Bharuch is industrially well developed often referred to as golden corridor. It is dominated by Pharmaceutical industries, pesticide manufacturers, synthetic yarn production, textile processing houses and dying units. Surat in particular is dominated by textile industry and diamond cutting industry. Nearly 30 million meters of raw fabric and 25 million meters of processed fabric is produced in Surat daily.

This entire industrial corridor has been identified as most polluted region in the country, Ministry of environment and Forestry has put a ban on expansion of existing and on new chemical industries in most of these GIDCs. As result of the governments policy many CEPTs have come up in the region, there are many private pollution analysis labs in this region and all the industries need technically qualified people to monitor their effluents, All the pharmaceutical companies need manpower to evaluate the toxicity of their products, there are several Contract Research Organizations in need of manpower trained in toxicology. This proposed diploma aims to produce the trained manpower to the needs of the industry in the field of toxicology.

South Gujarat region starting from Vapi to Bharuch is industrially well developed often referred to as golden corridor. It is dominated by Pharmaceutical industries, pesticide manufacturers, synthetic yarn production, textile processing houses and dying units. Surat in particular is dominated by textile industry and diamond cutting industry. Nearly 30 million meters of raw fabric and 25 million meters of processed fabric is produced in Surat daily.

This entire industrial corridor has been identified as most polluted region in the country, Ministry of environment and Forestry has put a ban on expansion of existing and on new chemical industries in most of these GIDCs. As result of the governments policy many CEPTs have come up in the region, there are many private pollution analysis labs in this region and all the industries need technically qualified people to monitor their effluents, All the pharmaceutical companies need manpower to evaluate the toxicity of their products, there are several Contract Research Organizations in need of manpower trained in toxicology. This proposed diploma aims to produce the trained manpower to the needs of the industry in the field of toxicology.

South Gujarat region starting from Vapi to Bharuch is industrially well developed often referred to as golden corridor. It is dominated by Pharmaceutical industries, pesticide manufacturers, synthetic yarn production, textile processing houses and dying units. Surat in particular is dominated by textile industry and diamond cutting industry. Nearly 30 million meters of raw fabric and 25 million meters of processed fabric is produced in Surat daily.

This entire industrial corridor has been identified as most polluted region in the country, Ministry of environment and Forestry has put a ban on expansion of existing and on new chemical industries in most of these GIDCs. As result of the governments policy many CEPTs have come up in the region, there are many private pollution analysis labs in this region and all the industries need technically qualified people to monitor their effluents, All the pharmaceutical companies need manpower to evaluate the toxicity of their products, there are several Contract Research Organizations in need of manpower trained in toxicology.

South Gujarat region starting from Vapi to Bharuch is industrially well developed often referred to as golden corridor. It is dominated by Pharmaceutical industries, pesticide manufacturers, synthetic yarn production, textile processing houses and dying units. Surat in particular is dominated by textile industry and diamond cutting industry. Nearly 30 million meters of raw fabric and 25 million meters of processed fabric is produced in Surat daily.

This entire industrial corridor has been identified as most polluted region in the country, Ministry of environment and Forestry has put a ban on expansion of existing and on new chemical industries in most of these GIDCs. As result of the governments policy many CEPTs have come up in the region, there are many private pollution analysis labs in this region and all the industries need technically qualified people to monitor their effluents, All the pharmaceutical companies need manpower to evaluate the toxicity of their products, there are several Contract Research Organizations in need of manpower trained in toxicology.

South Gujarat region starting from Vapi to Bharuch is industrially well developed often referred to as golden corridor. It is dominated by Pharmaceutical industries, pesticide manufacturers, synthetic yarn production, textile processing houses and dying units. Surat in particular is dominated by textile industry and diamond cutting industry. Nearly 30 million meters of raw fabric and 25 million meters of processed fabric is produced in Surat daily.

This entire industrial corridor has been identified as most polluted region in the country, Ministry of environment and Forestry has put a ban on expansion of existing and on new chemical industries in most of these GIDCs. As result of the governments policy many CEPTs have come up in the region, there are many private pollution analysis labs in this region and all the industries need technically qualified people to monitor their effluents, All the pharmaceutical companies need manpower to evaluate the toxicity of their products, there are several Contract Research Organizations in need of manpower trained in toxicology.

South Gujarat region starting from Vapi to Bharuch is industrially well developed often referred to as golden corridor. It is dominated by Pharmaceutical industries, pesticide manufacturers, synthetic yarn production, textile processing houses and dying units. Surat in particular is dominated by textile industry and diamond cutting industry. Nearly 30 million meters of raw fabric and 25 million meters of processed fabric is produced in Surat daily.

This entire industrial corridor has been identified as most polluted region in the country, Ministry of environment and Forestry has put a ban on expansion of existing and on new chemical industries in most of these GIDCs. As result of the governments policy many CEPTs have come up in the region, there are many private pollution analysis labs in this region and all the industries need technically qualified people to monitor their effluents, All the pharmaceutical companies need manpower to evaluate the toxicity of their products, there are several Contract Research Organizations in need of manpower trained in toxicology.

South Gujarat region starting from Vapi to Bharuch is industrially well developed often referred to as golden corridor. It is dominated by Pharmaceutical industries, pesticide manufacturers, synthetic yarn production, textile processing houses and dying units. Surat in particular is dominated by textile industry and diamond cutting industry. Nearly 30 million meters of raw fabric and 25 million meters of processed fabric is produced in Surat daily.

This entire industrial corridor has been identified as most polluted region in the country, Ministry of environment and Forestry has put a ban on expansion of existing and on new chemical industries in most of these GIDCs. As result of the governments policy many CEPTs have come up in the region, there are many private pollution analysis labs in this region and all the industries need technically qualified people to monitor their effluents, All the pharmaceutical companies need manpower to evaluate the toxicity of their products, there are several Contract Research Organizations in need of manpower trained in toxicology. This proposed diploma aims to produce the trained manpower to the needs of the industry in the field of toxicology.
