BIOMT Microbial Techniques

Microbiology techniques are methods used for the study of microbes, including bacteria and microscopic fungi. They include methods to survey, culture, stain, identify, and manipulate microbes.  In this certificate course, we aim to provide hands-on-experience on the basic techniques of culturing microbes like preparation of media, sterilization, isolation of pure cultures, culturing and staining of fungi. This certificate course will enable students to learn Good Microbiological Practices. The course is conducted for undergraduate students in their second semester.

BIOBA Biocontrol agent production(pseudomonas)

Biocontrol agents are the natural enemies of pests, which can intervene the life cycle of insect pests in such a way that the crop damage is minimized. Biological control includes a wide range of approaches, from natural predators to biologically produced molecules. These bio agents can be conserved, preserved and multiplied under Laboratory condition for field release. Among all pest management techniques, the microbial agents are most effective in controlling the target insect-pest and require appropriate formulation and application.

              This certificate course aims to teach students the importance of biocontrol agents and their mass production including labeling and packaging. It will create awareness about the utility of biological agents as an alternative to chemical pesticides and promote organic farming.

BIOOM  Oyster Mushroom Production

Oyster mushroom is an edible fungus which belongs to genus Pleurotus. Mushroom fits in very well with sustainable farming systems with huge medicinal and nutritional importance. Oyster mushroom is the rich source of protein, vitamins, minerals, fiber and other antioxidants like selenium. 

               Cultivation of mushrooms is introduced as a certificate course since the hands-on-experience will equip the students to carry out mushroom production as part of their home farming or as source of generating income. Oyster mushrooms are highly tolerant of variations in temperature, humidity, light levels and carbon dioxide levels, making it a great choice for first time growers. One of the main objectives of this certificate course is to establish economic self -reliance for the students as entrepreneurs.

BIOSI  SAFETY MEASURES IN LABORATORY 

Study about biosafety measures is an important requirement for biotechnology students because their working environment always has several risks and hazards associated with chemicals and microorganisms. It is important that each student should have a proper awareness about the hazards. This certificate course will enable students to learn about biosafety and its importance. It aims to minimize the risks in the lab by ensuring that the students know how to handle these hazards. This certificate course also includes information about proper handling of important yet frequently used equipment in the laboratory.

BIOVC VERMICOMPOST PRODUCTION ( End on 2017)

Vermicomposting is regarded as a clean, sustainable, and zero-waste approach to manage organic wastes. It is a process based on earthworms and microorganisms, whose joint action provides degradation and detoxification of organic waste as well as conversion into a product to be used for agronomic purposes. This eco-friendly method is cost effective and is the best among other remediation processes.  This course is provided to educate students about the process of vermicomposting and its benefits. It will also motivate students towards organic farming as well as enhance employability and entrepreneurship skills among them.
