2. Industry-Academia Interaction Programme:

Department of Microbiology regularly arrange educational tours under industry-academia programme. Some of the institutes where student visits are Rajiv Gandhi Biotechnology Centre, Central Citrus Research Institute, Government Institute of Forensic Science, Nagpur, National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), Bio-Era, Pune, CCMB Hyderabad, IICT Hyderabad, Osmania University of Hyderabad.Royal Life Sciences Laboratories Hyderabad. Students get benefited by this study tour since they get familiar with the working of theses laboratories and different sectors in research institutes.  Prof. Incharge –Dr.Ulka Malode (Bidwai). In the academic session 2023-24, Department arranged the Industrial visit to Pee Vee Textile, Jam and GBS Mushroom, Chandrapur 7th March 2024.

3. Social Outreach Programmes of the Department:

Microbiology students should dispense their knowledge to the society. With this idea, department started the social outreach programme. The main objective of this program is  linking of UG, PG students to  the school going childrens specially of  Zilla Parishad and Nagarpalika Schools, where children’s from economically poor background get the education. These students are guided on different topics like their Personal Hygiene and Role of Microbes, Microbes in day today life, water borne diseases during rainy seasons, importance of washing of hands, Environment Protection and Preservation, Soil Pollution etc. The students can be motivated to think over how Microbiology can help the society for their upliftment. 

  • Preparation of slogan and digital banner regarding COVID-19 awareness

Preparation of slogan and digital banner regarding COVID-19 awareness Preparation of slogan and digital banner regarding COVID-19 awareness activity by Department of Microbiology in first week of April 2020 and propaganda on social sites for the COVID 19 awareness in second Week of  April  2020.

  • Survey on Corona Vaccination

The survey on awareness on Corona vaccination for Wardha district (https://forms.gle/1PR4v8eeir2XP4qu8) is going on by PG students of department of microbiology as their MSc. Dissertation. They are collecting data related to vaccine for COVID 19 and its post consequences by online mode. They also try to convince people for vaccination, if they are not ready to take vaccine.

  • Preparation and Participation of PG students in awareness video on Hand sanitization, Vaccination and Mucormycosis

PG microbiology students (Jr. And Sr.) prepared videos on various topics like Hand sanitization, Vaccination and Mucormycosis for COVID 19 awareness. Students also convinced their family, friends, neighbours about the use and significance of hand sanitization, prevention of COVID 19 by vaccination and danger of Mucormycosis and treatment for it.
