Activities
Dayananda Sagar College of Biological Sciences
in association with the Society for Regenerative
Medicine and Tissue Engineering conducted ‘STEM
– 2005’, an international symposium
on Regenerative Medicine, Tissue Engineering and
Nanotechnology during 1st and 2nd of April 2005.
The College organizes a three-day ‘ BIOMIC
FETE’ – as an annual feature, which
comprises a daylong scientific symposium and
2 days of intercollegiate scientific and cultural
competitions.
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. |
