Duration of Course: 3 years
Biotechnology is an emerging sector seeking
development in the diverse areas of Tissue Engineering,
Microfluidics, Biomedicine, BioMEMS, Biosensors,
Pharmaceutical, Bioprocess Technologies and
Nanotechnology.
Biotech is the latest sunrise sector. Analysts
feel that biotech industry may surpass IT and
ITeS in overall growth and employment generation,
Forex earnings, patent registration, etc. India
is considered as one of the hottest biotech
destinations. Several people across the world
believe that India will be able to produce companies
of highest calibre in the future.
India’s skill and capabilities in biotech
is well recognized. But rapid growth of the
industry will ultimately depend on availability
of quality manpower and good educational institutions
in the country. Dayananda Sagar College of Biological
Sciences situated in the country’s BT
capital, Bangalore is one of the best institutes
for not only offering higher education in biotechnology
but also to be able to give hands-on experience
and training using advanced equipments &
instruments.
BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT
| Earthworms
are used to abate water pollution due to
distillery units and convert it along with
solid wastes from other industries to produce
useable bio fertilizers. Ideally 100 tonnes
of vermi-compost could be produced by 6,000
earthworms into an acre of land where the
effluents could be let out with 20% other
vegetative wastes. This is an eco friendly,
energy saving method that carries the additional
promise of yielding manure that is 30% more
efficacious than the vegetative vermi-compost.
The earthworms fed on distillery wastes
on being isolated from soil, also constitute
ideal fishmeal or feed for poultry or piggery
and contribute to development of proteins
for human consumption. |
