ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
The Department of Biotechnology was started in the year 2002 with an understanding that there was an opportunity to intervene and enhance the quality of life by responding to society’s challenges of affordable healthcare choice, food security, climate change and energy shortages among others. Hence, the Department adopted a mission to imbue students with a unique combination of skills in a wide range of disciplines in biotechnology. The Department with its research equipment in state-of-the-art laboratories constantly strives to fulfil the aspirations of its students. Department offers B.Tech, M.Tech, and PhD in Biotechnology to provide a platform for the students to elevate standards. The Department also has its own society for Biotechnologists, where various technical events are organised; Journal Club, where students are trained to improve their research skills; publishes Biosnippets, a monthly newsletter & magazine, which ENLIGHTENS the students regarding the trends in the field of biotechnology. Workshops are organised regularly to bridge the gap between academia and the industry.

To be a department of academic excellence focused on education, research and development and to conquer the frontiers of biotechnology benefitting the society.
MISSION
- To impart quality technical education in the different facets of Biotechnology
- To continuously enhance and enrich the teaching-learning process
- To provide an ambience for the overall development of the students, to be more creative, innovative and globally competent ethical professionals
- To promote research and develop technologies and products for the sustenance and well being of society.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
India is an agricultural economy. In addition to being a key contributor to exports and GDP, it is also a huge market for the manufacturing and service sectors of the economy. Hence there is a compelling need for raising agricultural productivity, supporting small scale farmers & women and sustainability in agriculture. The key to achieving these goals is by making agriculture profitable, guaranteeing access to modern technology, without compromising on the quality of the produce, while preserving soil quality and without adversely impacting the environment.
Vidhai wishes to provide a platform, where academicians, industrialists, agricultural scientists and students from all over the country, come together to deliberate modern biotechnological solutions to agriculture like plant genome and GM crops, integrated farming, organic farming, biofertilizers, soil management, hydroponics, agroproducts, waste-to-wealth principles, storage technology and many more.
