Principal's Message

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.

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.

 

7. Future activities and proposed action plan:

  • The awareness program for biotechnology and its application in various Higher Secondary Schools.
  • Providing a platform for theoretical and practical knowledge on the modern issues in the field of Biotechnology for College students through Biotech Hub
  • Make more use of Biotech Hub equipments for research purpose including PhD works and collaborative research activities.

 

8. Conclusions

  • The growing Biochemistry and Biotechnology in life sciences has created demand on availability of affordable scientific instruments to cope with problems.
  • Establishment of Biotech Hub in the college progressively mitigates students and professors in carrying out practicals and mini project (which usually provided to students for 20 days as summer training).
  • As a part of extended laboratory, the life sciences students and professors make avail of equipments as per the demand, and the parental Biochemistry department is also looking forward to make it more convenient in conducting join-research for better utilization and cultivation of qualitative efficiency in teaching and research in the new college campus.

Goals & Objectives

The principle goal is to cater to the need for higher learning in the college level in various fields of science education in Mizoram. It is envisaged that the knowledge and skills gained from the institution, with the degree obtained, would facilitate students for future employment opportunities. The main objectives of the college are:

  1. To be at par with esteemed colleges outside the state in terms of teaching-learning process and, also in terms of research output.
  2. To continuously strive to provide a platform for more choices and opportunities, particularly for students who cannot afford to pursue higher studies elsewhere.
