UODA WEEK

BIOonline — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 22:31:47 GMT

Students from BGE and MMB department arranged an exhibition on the occasion of UODA WEEK 2010. They arranged a scientific exhibition, medicinal plant exhibition, photo exhibition and an overview of research work on PLANT TISSUE CULTURE and FISH BIOTECHNOLOGY sections at a glance. It has already been covered by media and many visitors appreciates such initiative. Exhibition will run till 28^th January.
