Vision, Mission, PEOs, and PLOs

Vision Statement Human Resource Development: There is a dearth of researchers in universities/R&D institutes who are well versed in molecular biology techniques especially recombinant DNA technology and proteomics. A few who are familiar with the techniques are handicapped due to ill equipped laboratories. With this background our vision is to provide state of the art facilities in molecular biology, plant and animal biotechnology, protein chemistry and enzymology to our own students and researchers from other departments of the university/other universities of the country.

Mission Statement Our mission is human resource development in areas of molecular biology, recombinant DNA technology and proteomics To establish linkage between R&D and industry. Develop sustainable indigenous technology for the preparation and application of therapeutic hormones (e.g. human insulin, human interferon and GH for enhancing productivity from the farm animals) and seme enzymes of commercial application.

Specific Objectives To create and update facilities for top-rate research in biological sciences and to provide opportunity for high class doctorate and post-doctorate research on problems of national importance. Organizing courses which provide sufficient background knowledge to enable the researchers to undertake productive research. Organizing invited lectures, seminars, workshops and symposia on topics of current interest.
