Biotechnology Park is located in

The correct answer is A) Lucknow. The Biotech Park in Uttar Pradesh is at Lucknow, in the Vibhuti Khand area of Gomti Nagar. It was set up as a society under the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, to provide shared lab and incubation infrastructure for biotech start-ups and research groups.

Why the other options fail:

• B) Varanasi: Varanasi is known for BHU and its research institutes, but it does not host the state's Biotech Park.
• C) Agra: Agra is associated with tourism and the leather and footwear industry, not with a biotech park.
• D) None of the above: Incorrect, since Option A is correct.

The core concept is the institutional mapping of science infrastructure: which city hosts which national lab, park or institute. For Mains, this links to the role of science and technology clusters in state industrial policy and to the biotech sector's growth in India.

Trap: Aspirants often confuse Lucknow's biotech and research cluster with CSIR institutes such as CDRI or NBRI and assume the park is attached to one of them. The Biotech Park is a separate DBT-linked entity.
