Projects under taken by department :
In the year 2003-2004, the projects undertaken by the department are as follows -
  • Water analysis - About 10 samples from the different areas of Panvel were collected to check different parameters like hardness, B.O.D., C.O.D., CO2, salinity etc.
  • Soil analysis - About 10 samples from the different fields were collected by the students, and analysed to check its acidity.
  • Milk adulteration - Milk samples from the dairies were collected to check adulteration by urea, glucose, starch, etc.
  • Fat content of the milk - Milk samples from different sources were collected to check its fat content.
  • In the year 2004-2005, the projects undertaken by the department are as follows -
Estimation of sugar from different fruits - Amount of sugar present in different fruits were estimated.
Estimation of proteins - Protein estimation from milk, egg and cereals were done.
  Teaching aids - To make the teaching-learning process efficient, teaching aids like O.H.P., L.C.D. are often used. To visualise the concepts of certain topics, we show the CDs of references available with reference books.
  Social work - Our students visited Kevale and Wakadi villages and guided the villagers about vermicompost, soil analysis and first aid.
  Certificate course conducted by the department - Department conducts a Certificate Course in Bioinformatics proposed by University of Mumbai. The admissions are given on merit basis.
  • Future plans :
  1) As our vision is to transform the knowledge of living world for the benefit of all, we have planned some of the activities, which will be the part of our regular proceedings.
