5. Specific Learning Objectives (SLO)

While planning for lessons all three main domains of learning are used to construct lessons. These

domains are

Cognitive (thinking),

Affective (emotion/feeling), and


Psychomotor (physical/kinaesthetic)

Cognitive thinking is based Anderson and Krathwohl – Bloom’s Taxonomy and emphasizes on

knowing, understanding, applying, analysing, evaluating, and the last and highest function,

creating.

Affective or feeling Domain inculcates attributes such as Receiving, Responding, Valuing,

Organization, and Characterization amongst the students.

The Psychomotor or Kinaesthetic Domain - As we learn more about how the brain learns and retain

information, the educators in department are realizing that targeted physical movement has the

potential to enhance memory and recall and can aid in accelerating long-term memory.

Intentionally adding movement to enhance learning is often called “embodied learning.” With the

aid of technology this field is growing rapidly.Special attention is given on non-discursive

communication

Workshop on High Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC)

Workshop was organized between 28th& 29th November, 2014. Following are the objectives of

workshop

Objective:

o To make students and staff acquaints of the modern separation technique HPTLC.

o To help and further the usage of the instrument in the research being conducted in the institute.

With the rapid growth in the field of chemistry and biotechnology, separation of molecules form

the mixture or secondary metabolites from the plant extract always been a challenge. To

overcome this problem many of the new techniques have been developed and currently in use.

Being most basic and widely used separation technique, TLC has gained much more attention of

the scientific community. So over the period of time this basic technique of TLC has evolved in

to High Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography. HPTLC is the most advanced from of TLC

and comprises the use of chromatographic layers of utmost separation efficiency and the

employment of state-of-the art instrumentation for all steps in the procedure: precise sample


application, standardized reproducible chromatogram development and software controlled

evaluation.

Future Strategy: It is possible to keep instrument running by offering service to the industry and

other organizations. And one person from the institute can be sent to the Anchrom, Mumbai for

the in-depth training, who can keep instrument functional single handedly. Overall it was a life

changing experience and it offered a great platform to interact and exchange ideas on HPTLC.

collaboration with Social forestry and Dept.of Biotechnology, Botany on 02.08.2014. Eminent

guests and speakers from Department of Social Forestry, Government of Maharashtra and

National Chemical Laboratory, Pune were invited to enlighten on role of Biotechnology in

social forestry. Dr. Arvind Kumar Jha, Director General, Department of Social forestry;

Government of Maharashtra was the function chief guest’s who given a key note address on the

need of conservation of the forest and to provide maximum benefit to the farmers by utilizing the

government land for regular cultivation practices. He also talked about the role of biotechnology

for the conservation of forest and endangered plant species. He discussed about how the peoples

are facing problem because deforestation. The Government is also taking initiative to provide

government cultivable land to farmers for a certain time period for their cultivation. Dr.

Suchishweta Kendurkar, Principle Scientist, National Chemical Laboratory, Pune; Dr.

Devendra Kumar, Deputy Director General, Department of Social forestry, Government of

Maharashtra; Dr. Bharat Bhusan, Dean and Secretaty, YASHADA, Pune; Shri Arvind

Kamble, Deputy Director; Shri N S Ladkat, Deputy Director, Department of Social forestry;

Government of Maharashtra and District Forest Officers of Government of Maharashtra was

made the event successful by sharing their thoughts. The function was presided by Dr. Sushma

Chaphalkar, Founder Director, Vidya Prathisthan’s School of Biotechnology, Baramati.

Dr. Suchishweta Kendurkar, Principle Scientist, National Chemical Laboratory, Pune was the

eminent speaker in inaugural session. Her key note address was on “Application of

Biotechnology for Improvement of Plants” in which plant tissue culture, clonal propagation,

improvement of agronomic traits by marker assisted selection, genetic transformation and

metabolic engineering. The micropropagation technique which is season independent having

much advantage over conventional macropropagation. She also highlighted the need of marker

assisted selection for assessing genetic diversity and crop improvement. Development of

bamboo cultivars by micropropagation and their field trial was taken at NCL, Pune which was

quite successful. She also focused on the improvement of crop by genetic transformation

viz; herbicide tolerance soybean, Bt Cotton, Bt rice and maize is the major successful

application of biotechnology. Regulation of pigment in rose by antisense technology,

improving protein quality, oil quality is successfully practical application of biotechnological

techniques for improving plant species. Dr. Bharat Bhusan discussed on the impact on the

deforestation on the environment and need of conservation of forest. The natural habitat for

wild animals and birds is getting destroyed which will lead to their extinction and the

consequently disturbance to the food chain and ultimately the adverse effect on human being.

The conservation of forest and extinct plant species is necessary for preserving the natural

resources. The role of biotechnology for the forest conservation was also discussed during his

address. Vote of thanks was extended with the information for the application of biotechnology

in social forestry.

35. Strengths and Weaknesses of Department:

Strengths Team with Doctorate and Post Doctorate.

Project carryout by student with supervisor

The project undertaken gives a real insight into the applications of

the subject and enhances the conceptual understanding.

The industry collaborations help in placements and funding of

projects.

Identify research thrust.

Weaknesses Rural background

Communication skill is poor

36. Future Plans:

1 To build research linkages and collaborations

2 To respond to the needs of the Industry through consultancy projects

3 To start job-oriented courses such as:

Cert. in Organic Farming (IGNOU)

Cert. in Beekeeping (IGNOU)

Dip. In Dairy Technology (IGNOU)

PGD in Food Safety and Quality Management (IGNOU)

PG diploma in DMLT

o PG diploma in Clinical Biochemistry

o PG diploma in Bioinformatics

4 A long term plan for energy generation is under investigation. The department collaborated with Dyanmics Dairy

for the CH4 production from Mother liquor (Dairy Waste). The same biogas produced is substituted for LPG

cylinder in Microbiology Lab.

Projects are being considered of combining heat and power plants and to use solar power from rooftop. The

department is further looking into potential of geothermal power and the conversion of dining hall waste into

diesel fuel, vermicompost.

5 To Strengthen the incubation centre. The Biotech Incubation Centre at Department is a unique place with a rare

combination of state-of-the- art infrastructure and expertise for Research and Training in Biotechnology which

helps nurture and grow new businesses by supporting them through the early stages of development and progress

to maturity. The objective of establishing the Biotech Incubation Centre is to give impetus to innovation by

supporting start-up companies or expansion plans of knowledge based enterprises which have acquired foothold.

6 To convert the Demo units to full-fledged Operational units :

Apiculture Unit Organic Farming

Aqua cultural Unit Solid Waste Management

Non-conservation source of Energy

Animal and Plant Disease Surveillances

Biofertilizer Unit Entomophagous park

Microblal culture collection for farmers

Nursery of Medicinal and Aromatic plants
