Biochemistry
Head of Division : Dr. M. L. Lodha
Main activities of the Division in brief :
Research and Teaching - The Division is playing a key role
in not only imparting first-rate teaching and training in Biochemistry
at Post-Graduate level, but also ensuring support to other disciplines of Agriculture.
Major thrust areas of research are Plant Molecular Biology
and Biochemistry.
