ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

The Department of Microbiology was started in the year 1998 with B.Sc., and M.Sc., programme in Microbiology was started in 2001, with a well equipped laboratory and class rooms which gives a suitable and comfortable environment to the students in learning. The Department gives 100% results in PG classes till date and the Department was honoured as a “BEST DEPARTMENT” in academics - 2008.

VISION:-

We are highly committed to empower rural students to develop skills in Microbiology

MISSION:-

To impart quality education and to mould professionally competent graduates who can pursue career and research in Microbiology

INFRA STRUCTURE FACILITIES:

PHASE CONTRAST MICROSCOPE

Most useful for observing transparent, unstained, live cells. Not ideal for thick samples that may appear distorted .Halo effects or 'phase artifacts' may be present distorting details around the perimeter of the sample. Superior to bright-field optics. Fine details which are invisible under bright-field optics show up in high contrast.

B.O.D incubator

BOD Incubator is commonly used for determination of biochemical oxygen demand and for preservation of medicinal vaccines, various chemicals and others.

U.V.SPECTROSCOPY

UV absorption spectroscopy is one of the best methods for determination of impurities in organic molecules. Additional peaks can be observed due to impurities in the sample and it can be compared with that of standard raw material. By also measuring the absorbance at specific wave length , the impurities can be detected.

DIAGNOSTIC CENTRE

In our department we have a Diagnostic centre to help the rural peoples in our area.

It's

TO SERVE RURAL PEOPLE

TO MAKE A DISEASE LESS VILLAGE

Here we provide the following facilities to our peoples.

1. Blood grouping, pregnancy test, SGOT, SGPT, ASO,

2. VDRL, blood sugar, urine analysis, haemoglobin estimation, clotting time,
bleeding time, widal test, RBC, WBC, Differential count etc.,
