OBJECTIVE
“National Genomic Resources
Repository” the latest endeavor of ICAR in the field of genetic resources
conservation is being commissioned at NBPGR, New Delhi. Apart from research and
service, the Repository aims at human
resources development and awareness generation among peers in NARS about the
conservation and utilization of genomic resources.
SCOPE
i) Imparting of theoretical
knowledge on technical, legal and implementation aspects of genomic resources
conservation
ii) Hands-on demonstration on
generation and conservation of genomic resources
HOW TO APPLY?
Eligible Scientists/Researchers
should apply through their organizations in the enclosed format. The duly
filled applications should be sent to Course Director, National Bureau of Plant
Genetic Resources, Pusa Campus, New Delhi 110 012 to reach on or before 5th March
2012.
