The Department of Plant Molecular
Biology and Biotechnology, IGKV, Raipur offers admission
to Ph.D. and Ph.D. through DBT sponsored and self-finance
scheme and has different well equipped laboratories and
small library to caters to the immediate needs of the students
and researcher. With financial support from the Department
of Biotechnology, Government of India New Delhi, the project
on “Creation of Bioinformatics Infrastructure facility
(BIF) for the promotion of Biology Teaching through Bioinformatics
(BTBI) at IGKV, Raipur under the Biotechnology Information
System Network (BTIsent) program” was implemented
on 30th April 2007
It is extensively being
used by the students, researchers and teachers of Department
for thesis related research and teaching activities. Introduction
to Bioinformatics has been introduction in the teaching
program of M.Sc. Agriculture Biotechnology.
