Administrator's message

For the last few years this College has been running the Department of
Biotechnology, which, as the term denotes, deals with life and the various ways
on how to deal with the problems associated with it. In order to achieve its
goals, Biotechnology engages in various activities like, molecular diagnosis
which help to understand the possible diseases and the probable cure, this
contributing towards improved health. This branch of science has also been
successfully used in the field of agriculture, that is producing new plants, fruit,
vegetables, etc, that are resistant to insects, fungus and other types of diseases
thus contributing towards growth of agricultural products. The research
carried out in the laboratories have contributed a lot for the elevation of the
poor in India and other countries. Due to the climate changes brought about by
excessive use of fossil fuels, there is lot of research going on towards
developing biofuels.
Students graduating in this branch of science do have a promising future, for
which they need to assimilate the principles that guide the use of this
technology and should develop a love for research. This will demand some
sacrifices, but then, success always comes with a price.
I convey my hearty congratulations for the e-Newsletter brought out by the
Department, thereby providing us with information about the activities that
have been organised for promoting a better learning environment. I wish all the
students, especially those who will be graduating this academic year, the very
best and a bright future.

God bless all.
