Description: Azolla cultivation involves growing the floating water fern, typically in shallow, shaded ponds lined with plastic, that contains a symbiotic blue-green algae responsible for atmospheric nitrogen fixation. For successful growth, azolla needs 5-10 cm of water at a temperature of 20-35°C, a water pH between 5-7, and an adequate supply of phosphorus.

M.Sampreeth from 1st M.Sc. Biotechnology gave his presentation on “Chromosomal abnormalities and associated genetic diseases”, Department staff, Research Scholars and Students participated in the meeting.

The welcome address was given by Dr. B.Ramesh, HOD and Convenor

______M.Sampreeth ______ gave detailed presentation on Chromosomal abnormalities and associated genetic diseases. Students participated in the meet and during the questionnaire session.

The forum meeting was over by 1:30 PM with the vote of thanks delivered by Dr. Harishkumar Rajendran, coordinator of the Watson and Crick forum.




 Description: Chromosome-associated genetic diseases are disorders caused by abnormalities in the number or structure of chromosomes, which carry genetic material in the form of genes. These abnormalities can result in the gain or loss of genetic material or changes in chromosome structure, often disrupting multiple important genes and leading to developmental and clinical consequences. Examples include Down syndrome, which is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21, leading to intellectual disability and various physical abnormalities

Lavanya’s Journey into Mushroom Cultivation: A Budding Entrepreneur's Initiative

Lavanya is a passionate student with a dream of becoming an entrepreneur. With a strong interest in sustainable agriculture, she took her first step by starting mushroom cultivation at home. She chose to grow oyster mushrooms and initiate by discussing her idea with her family, gaining their support and permission.

She prepared the terrace for growing conditions. For her initial attempt, Lavanya bought quality oyster mushroom spawn and made mushroom beds, carefully following sterilization methods to avoid contamination. During the cultivation period, she closely observed the growth and took photos at different stages for future reference. From setting up to harvesting, each step showed her dedication and eagerness to learn.

This hands-on experience not only helped her understand the process of mushroom farming but also moved her closer to her goal of becoming an entrepreneur.
