National Seminar on

Biochemical and biotechnological research approaches for bio-resource management of North East India towards sustainable rural development

 

ABOUT THE THEME

The Northeast India is a genetic treasure house of plant, animal and microbial resources. There is still a lot to do for complete realization of the inherent economic potential of these bio-resources. The inputs from biochemical and biotechnological research findings must be applied for efficient management of these bio-resources, their production, processing and value addition. The seminar is expected to provide a platform for exchange of ideas among the researchers or teachers of universities, colleges and research institutes of the country on the aforesaid topic. This will help in the development of entrepreneurial spirit of the qualified and skilled young people of the region to start bio-resource based commercial ventures which will lead to sustainable rural development in this part of the country.
