BioTechnology
Department of Biotechnology was established in the year 2005. The department has sophisticated laboratories and actively involved in carrying out research work with well qualified and experienced faculty members. The Department organizes various National Seminars/Symposiums/Conferences/ Workshops and Guest lecturers funded by Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) & The Institution of Engineers (India) Salem Local Centre, Salem. The department obtain grants for research project from various Government agencies such as Department of Science & Technology (DST), Tamil Nadu State Council for Science and Technology (TNSCST), Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), Government of India and IISc– MSME Centre of Excellence, Bangalore and Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council –Society for Research and Initiatives for Sustainable Technologies and Institutions (BIRAC-SRISTI). Students Participate in various scientific meets including Regional Convention- AICTE - Chhatra Vishwakarma Awards, Mahatma Gandhi National Council of Rural Education, Government of India, Entrepreneurship development program etc and received many prize and award.
