IMPACT OF DEMONSTRATION OF VERMY COMPOSTING FOR THE BENEFIT OF SC ST POPULATION IN THE WASHIM DISTRICT OF MAHARASHTRA                                                                                 P.P.Shelke, Principal Investigator  Background:-      Washim District is situated in Vidarbha region of Maharashtra.  Earlier it was in Akola District of Maharasshtra.  The District was earmarked with remote distance from Distarict Place of Akola.  The population of the district was mostly tribal and SC and ST communities.  The education level was not so high and the major source of Income was the Agriculture Land.  This is the case when the KVK was established in 1994 at Risod.       KVK scientist have studied the basic needs of the farmers and it was observed that the majority of farmers were not using balanced fertilizers and also the balanced use of organic inputs was not there.  Therfore, it [more..]

Biotechnology is considered to be a quickly emerging and far-reaching technology. It's a branch of science that may play a major role in the development and growth of India. Biotechnology refers to any technological application that uses biological systems and forms in a governable manner, to not only produce new and useful processes or products but also modify the existing ones. It benefits both mankind and other life forms, such as microorganisms. Besides, biotechnology helps maintain an optimum ecological balance by lowering the amount of hydrocarbons and controlling pollution. Biotechnology in India is one of the most rapidly growing knowledge-based sectors. Today, it's being increasingly used to design and develop unique, improved varieties of pharmaceutical products, crops, fertilizers, processed foods, a plethora of chemicals, cosmetics, growth enhancers, health care aids, and environment-related substances. The biotech segment in [more..]

Biology is subject, which has been one of the most important courses for the development of the human being. There have been many scientific theories, studies and tests conducted to know the biological process of human and many other animals and living beings. Careers related to biology life medicine, pharmacy, biotechnology, and research, have always been preferred by students and respected in all the countries across the world. There are many colleges in India, which provide courses in biology and courses related to it. With time and new studies coming up, more number of courses has got introduced, giving in more options to students to pursue their career. This has lead to a large number of students taking interest in the courses related to the field of biology. One of such courses, which are gaining importance [more..]

The biochip industry is in the early stages of growth and hence, not only promises potential but also is susceptible to vagaries of market forces. Competition, patent disputes, knowledge constraints (in terms of skilled employees, technical know-how) and financial strength might be a few impediments for firms engaged in this industry. A promising market arises from three factors – an aging population, third party reimbursement and a growing number of individuals suffering from common chronic diseases. Biochips would certainly evolve in terms of physical, technical characteristics, and with focus on miniaturization of assays, they would turn smaller and more powerful with each generation. The industry is characterized by both intense rivalry and equally well-developed web of alliances. These and other market data and trends are presented in “Biochips: A Global Update of Market Trends & Opportunities” [more..]
