The Objectives:
The primary Objectives of the Centre are:
< Establishment of liaison with various Institutes of India and abroad, working on the field of Environmental Biotechnology
< Establishment of environmental data bank and documentation centre on the subject concerned
< Publication of regular "news letter" on the subject for wide dissemination of information to all concerned
< Establishment of advance training cum demonstration centre on some selected areas
< Development of a website in the field for accessing information through internet.
Detailed layout of the project:
Virtually all-biotechnological endeavors can be claimed, justifiably, to have environmental consequences. For example, the development of new crop plants and crop protections will influence the use of land and our ability, to feed a growing population and replacement of "dirty" manufacturing process by cleaner biotechnological strategies can be regarded as environmental biotechnology. On the whole, the environmental biotechnology means the specific application of biotechnology to the management of environmental problems. It encompasses aspects of natural resources management, the treatment of waste and control of pollution.
Biotechnological approach to solve these environmental problems using microbes, higher plants or animal or bio-products, considered to be most novel techniques in future decades to come. As such database of various techniques, storage of germ-plasm for future improvement of the strains etc. are the major task to undertake in near future.
