Modern biology is a multidisciplinary subject today.  The education in this field thus requires a much broader understanding of emerging areas of life sciences as well as their grass root and advanced applications.  In this context, the Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India’s programme titled ‘Popular Biotechnology Lectures’ aims at creating awareness on the basic concepts and recent advances of biotechnology and its applications among students and teachers of schools, colleges, universities as well as general  public. Under this programme, a series comprising three popular biotechnology lectures is organized every year by Punjab State Council for Science & Technology.
