TERI had organized the Training programme on ‘Application on Biotechnology and its Regulation’ in 2007, 2008 and 2009 sponsored by Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC), Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India.
The programme had received excellent response. We are pleased to announce the fourth training programme on ‘Application on Biotechnology and its Regulations’ to be conducted by TERI from 2 August to 22 August 2010.
ITEC (Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation, Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India) will meet the costs of the course, travel and accommodation of the selected participants.
The programme is essentially focusing on agriculture biotechnology, techniques and status of acceptance of new technologies. In addition to traditional biotechnologies such as tissue culture propagation
(micropropogation), use of biofertilisers and biopesticides (for organic
agriculture), issues related to Plant Variety and Farmer’s Rights etc. in
their contest on Globalization will be discussed. The modern biotechnology
based on molecular markers breeding and genetic engineering will be
discussed in detail both from technology point of view and issues related
to its acceptance globally. Biofuels which are emerging as the alternate
energy source, will also be dealt in detail both for the existing identified species and its future growth using biomass and agriculture waste. The faculty for this course will be drawn from TERI and experts from other institutions will be invited to ensure that all the subjects are taught by the leading subject experts.
