From The Dean's Desk

The coming of the New Year 2018 brings with it the aspirations of a bright and successful academic semester. There is a sense of distinct optimism in the air catalyzed by the recent success of the School of Biotechnology in several different spheres of activity in the academic and research arenas. From playing a pivotal role in hosting the Swadeshi Science Congress 2017 at the Amritapuri Campus, to having faculty and research fellows giving invited keynote lectures at International conferences, to having a respectable number of publications in peer-reviewed high impact factor journals, to having research scholars qualify for the National Research fellowships (CSIR), with several students ranked in the top 100 ranks nationally to the absolute cherry on the cake - a faculty member being awarded the very prestigious Ramalingaswami Re-entry Fellowship for scientists returning to India after a research stint overseas - the School of Biotechnology did well to win these laurels and more. Let us continue to ‘floor the pedal’ as we strive towards excellence and the pursuit of our goals with Amma’s grace in the semester and well into the future.
