Co-ordinator's address

Greetings from the Department of Biotechnology!

Our department is at the threshold of two decades for its existence, as we complete 19
years this academic year. Since its inception in 2005, the department has grown leaps
and bounds, owing to the support of the Management, the Principals, the
enthusiastic students and dynamic faculty.
This issue of the newsletter of the department, 'Sequence- Unravel Yourself' speaks of
the various activities and happenings of the department for the period from August
2022 to February 2024, as well as serves as a platform for our students to showcase
their literary and artistic talents. This newsletter serves to bring forth the creative
side of our students, with the perfect blend of knowledge, originality and
imagination, through the compilation of the various articles, poems and illustrations
that have been presented by them.
I appreciate the tiring efforts put in by the Editor, Mr. Vishal Mardolkar, the student
members of the Editorial Team in putting together this issue and my dear students
for their creative contributions. I extend my congratulations to the Editorial Team
on bringing to us such a beautifully curated edition of the departmental newsletter!
It has been an honour to serve as the Co-ordinator of the course. I take this
opportunity to thank every member of the department for their support,
understanding and enthusiasm, without which my task would have been a difficult
one. I also express my heartfelt gratitude to the Administrator, Rev. Fr. Antonio
Salema; the Principal, Prof. (Dr.) Blanche Mascarenhas and Vice Principals, Ms.
Ursula Baretto and Ms. Sandra Fernandes for their support and guidance every step
of the way.

Ms. Jocelyn Fernandes
