We, at Govt. Zirtiri Residential Science College, are committed to our motto “Lighted to Lighten”. It gives me great happiness to announce that Govt. Zirtiri Residential Science College is now equipped with its own website. I do hope it provides both the faculty and the students of this College with a platform for exchange of ideas and information . It is also intended to benefit all others who visit it to learn more about our College, in whatever capacity it may be, I also, take the opportunity to thank the University Grants Commission (UGC) for making this achievement possible. Happy browsing !
INSTITUTIONAL BIOTECH LABORATORY
GOVT. ZIRTIRI RESIDENTIAL SCIENCE COLLEGE. AIZAWL. MIZORAM
Institutional Biotech Hub was initially functioning and established in 2012 with funding from the Dept. Biotechnology (New Delhi). The Hub was established to serve as a platform for teaching and undertaking research. Since its introduction, Hands-on training and teaching were given to students as well as faculty members on the latest techniques in biotechnology. A number of outreach programs had conducted for Higher Secondary School students. Till date, the Hub is functioning smoothly and is being used for research works by teachers and also for conducting practical classes. Several facilities were procured through this project for conducting basic routine experiments.
This centre was sponsored by Department of Biotechnology, New Delhi vide sanction letter No. BT/22/NE/2011 dated 30.11.2011. The followings part-time personnel were engaged in the Hub.

5. Main activities Biotech Hub:
5.1. Basic research under Biotech Hub
5.2. Organize Training programmes to College Teachers & students
The Biotech Hub of our college also organised a special workshop for college teachers on ‘Techniques in Bio-technology and Bio-informatics’ during 21-23 august 2013 in collaboration with Biotech Hub of Pachhunga University college and State Biotech hub, Mizoram university. Altogether, 28 participants from science colleges across the state participated in this workshop.
5.3. Outreach programmes to Higher Secondary School/College students

6. List of Papers produced from Institutional Biotech Hub
Institutional Biotech Hub has been providing a platform for conducting experiments by students since established in the college. The parental department, Biochemistry is taking role in maintaining the equipments and other relevant responsibilities. Though the project funding had already ended in 2016, the laboratory is still one of the fundamental platforms for life science students in carrying out practicals every semester. It offers convenience to the students as well as teachers for conducting prescribed syllabus practicals and related research experiments.
