Overview

Coordinator: Prof. Shailendra S. Gaurav

The department of Biotechnology was established in 1996 under self financed programme. The department has erected basic experimental facilities for M.Sc. practical and project work The students of the department are regularly sent to work in different Universities and other prestigious institutes.

Biotechnology has rapidly emerged as an area of activity having potential impact on virtually all domains of human welfare, ranging from food processing, protecting the environment, and increasing the agricultural productivity to human health. The total volume of trade in biotechnology products is increasing sharply every year and it is expected to soon become the major contributor to the world trade.

The Department of Biotechnology was established in the year 1996 under self-financed programme. The department has well equipped laboratories with horizontal and vertical electrophoresis systems, PCR Thermal cycler-20o C Refrigerator, Electronic Balances, Laminar Air Flow Hoods, UV-Visible Spectrophotometer, Pentium-4 Computer, UV Trans illuminator, Refrigerated Centrifuges, Water Distillation Unit, Micropipettes, Gel Documentation System, Hybridization Oven, BOD Incubator with Shaker, ELISA reader, LCD projector, slide projector, etc. The department plans to procure a few other major equipment in near future.
