So, Pharma sector is going to grow in Mangalore. Now it is essential to get National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (
NIPER) proposed for Karnataka also along with Pharma Park in Mangalore and create good startup environment.
Mangalore can also reach into understanding with other national institutes like
IICT,
IICB for startup guidelines. Mangalore can also focus on encouraging startups in wearable medical devices area & telemedicine. For cross-discplinary researches & startups it should create socializing environment (socilaizing website, seminars, etc) so that people from different disciplines interact with each other, share their ideas and form teams.

DC Ibrahim said that revenue department officials have been asked to find suitable land for the setting up of new industrial estates in the district. "We will check possibility of sanctioning land available at Badaga Yekkaru in Mangaluru taluk and in Puttur," he added.

Is this Industrial Estate for downstream industries of MSEZ? Otherwise this would have been prefered site for Polymer-Plastic Park as location is in vicinity of MSEZ.
