The continuation of archaic Science Syllabi in State universities and collegiate system in India has become a matter of deep concern. Graduates and Post graduates are without technical skills, creativity, comprehension and futuristic vision. They are not only unemployable, but untrainable. Interdisciplinary programs of teaching and training can reverse this malaise. Initially, Nanotechnology and Biotechnology were treated as separate emerging frontiers of science and technology. However, with increasing volume of information, the two are wedded to become the holistic pivot of channelising new knowledge. Nanobiotechnology has numerous, albeit ever expanding components. They relate to issues of development of strategic defense equipment; agriculture, veterinary and biomedical sciences, atomic and sub- atomic sciences, engineering (all sections) etc. There is the need to develop coherent and linked curricula from 10+2 to P.G. level that entails foundation aspects of Nano-biotechnology; and incorporates basic instrumentation training. The areas need to be identified for the purpose of streamlining the curricula, for imparting practical training. This will enable the youth of country to find employment in defense industry, biomedical science, agriculture, engineering etc. New areas of entrepreneurship will also open. This would be globally competitive.
