There is a brand new specialised course in IP in India for graduate students of Agriculture, offering an in-depth understanding of Intellectual Property and Technology Management in Agriculture, and a cross-disciplinary study of agri-business, R&D, industry and law.
The
National Academy of Agricultural Research Management (NAARM) has begun a one-year Post Graduate Diploma in Intellectual Property and Technology Management in Agriculture (IPTMA) , with a comprehensive curriculum designed in collaboration with leading experts from across the disciplinary spectrum – agri-business, industry, law schools, financial institutions, NGOs, R&D institutions and policymakers.The course seeks to create a pool of “bridge professionals” who are equipped to develop IP assets in the agricultural sector by integrating agricultural research developments with industry needs, and strategically leveraging these assets for technology dissemination in the agri-food sector. The first batch was enrolled this January, chosen from across India, after a rigorous selection process involving a written test, group discussion and interview. The course is an integral part of NAARM, and it promises to be of immense benefit to the agricultural and its allied sectors.
The faculty consists of experts in IP, law and technology management, strategic management and human resource planning and development. Experts have been drawn from within the NAARM as well as from other public and private sector organisations, law schools, statutory bodies and R&D consortia.
The PGD-IPTMA is a professional programme, with internships and placements forming a core part of the curricula. NAARM welcomes prospective employers from the private and public sector working in agriculture and allied areas to collaborate for internship and placement.
The NAARM is a premier institute of excellence under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research , and is nationally and globally acknowledged for for its expertise in agricultural education, research, extension and agri-business programmes.
