Welcome  to the  Department of Biotechnology , GDC (A) RJY.

 

Biotechnology is a multidisciplinary subject which embeds basic principles of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Statistics etc., and finds applications in variety of fields from Medicine to Agriculture and from Environment to Sericulture. This subject was introduced  with an aim to provide scientific and technical solutions to Mankind. The subject has revolutionized since then. Biotechnology scenario in the world is changing rapidly and dynamically. Keeping a beat to the global demands for manpower in this field of Biotechnology.   

  • A Restructured program was introduced in this college in the year 1998-99.
  • The department has bifurcated from the parent Department Zoology and was given individual status in the year 2008-09.
  • The department has been offering a three year undergraduate bachelors degree in Biotechnology along with botany and chemistry .  Keeping local demands and job opportunities a new restructured program  Agrobiotechnology has been introduced from 2017 .  The students get practical/hands on experience through  projects in the 6th  semester .
  • The curriculum and syllabi is designed to impart theoretical and practical knowledge in Microbiology, Immunology, Biochemistry, Bioprocess Technology, plant & animal cell and  tissue culture ,Biostatistics, Bioethics and IPR.

The strength of the department is its enthusiastic and student friendly staff who have been drawn from reputed universities like Hyderadad central university and periyar university, Tamilnadu, JNTUH, Andhra University. The teachers are available to the students for academic as well as personal counselling. The faculty also guides the students during their participation in a number of co-curricular as well as extra curricular activities across various colleges, institutes and universities.

Program Specific Outcomes :    B.Sc.,     B.B.C. ( Biotechnology, Botany and Chemistry)

The program Biotechnology, Botany and chemistry has been introduced to prepare the students for a career which finds application and provides solution to some of the major contemporary problems on the earth i.e., providing food for growing population, designing advanced medical treatment options for increasing –evolving diseases, to find solution to deteriorating environment caused due to over exploitation / misuse of natural resources etc.,

In this program the study of botany offers the understanding about origin of life and the scope to utilize the knowledge for better society through catering to the needs and growing demands of food and clothing to population.

In this program the knowledge about the subject chemistry comes in to play when structures of biomolecules and their interactive relations to the environment are to be understood.

Finally the subject biotechnology amalgamates the various disciplines of sciences and offers ethically acceptable knowledge to bring about sustainable solutions for a variety of problems related to Agriculture, Environment, Quality of human life. These problems are solved with responsibility using appropriate tools while keeping in mind safety factor of Environment and society.

Program Specific Outcomes: B.Sc.,  Agro B.B.C. (Agrobiotechnology, Agrobotany and Agrochemistry)

This program of Agrobotany, Agrobiotechnology and Agrochemistry is specially designed to solve the problems related to agriculture and to fortify the crop products, to produce genetically modified crops to withstand various biotic and abiotic stress. To enhance production of economically important plants.

With advanced techniques in Agrobiotechnology, shelf life is enhanced, artificial ripening is caused which helps efficient trading

In Agrobotany we study about structure, classification and evolution of plants. Study about physico-chemical characters of soil, which helps us to know about requirements and hindrances faced in the agriculture. So it helps to find solutions.

In Agrochemistry we study about the chemical compositions present in different soils. Study of production, usage of various chemical fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides on the crops.
