I am happy to be a part of Department of Biotechnology, Vel Tech High Tech Dr. Rangarajan Dr. Sakunthala Engineering College. Conceptually Biotechnology is a multidisciplinary science advancing by more applications in our day-to-day lives from pharmaceutical development to food production and the treatment of polluting waste.

Biotechnology is being integrated with many disciplines of human welfare and biotechnological innovations are already became part of our daily lives and we find that in pharmacies, agriculture, food and among many other places.

In recent years, we are very well familiar with COVID-19 global pandemic and in COVID-19 fight, biotechnology has become major part in drug/vaccine production and understanding about the disease and also paves many life science job opportunities all over the world. Biotechnology will therefore play a crucial role in the society of the future in preventing and containing potential pathogens.

Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India has enormously motivating the Biotechnology research and developmental activities through several research and development projects, demonstrations, innovation, entrepreneurship or start-up grants, and the creation of infrastructural facilities. We honestly feel that we may add values to student’s life that possibly will equip them to circumvent the adversities in their life. I hope you will have a comfortable stay and joyful learning experience at the Department of Biotechnology of our Institution.
