SUMMER TRAINING – OBJECTIVES
STEP has specialized well equipped laboratories especially for business incubation in biofertilizer and biopesticide production, food processing and analysis; pilot scale lab; controlled rooms classified as growth rooms, cold rooms, inoculation rooms, instrumentation room, biowaste recycling.
The participants in the training will be interacting with experts in their fields and will get practical experience of various modern techniques along with the in depth understanding of underlying principles. Experiments will be conducted in small groups under the expert supervision. Participants individually will follow experimental protocols and some demonstration experiments will also be conducted.
This programme is an intensive hands on training programme imparting technical knowledge, management and developing entrepreneurial skills in different areas of biotechnology.
