CONTENTS
Justification : Why MVSc (Biotechnology) ?
Objectives: For What?
Teaching Faculty: Who Will Teach ?
Experiences of Teachers: Can they teach?
Infrastructure: What are the available facilities? Lab Facilities Type & Kind? Teaching Resource: e-learning? Animal Houses: Where to conduct research?
Requirements: Our deficiencies
JUSTIFICATION: WHY MVSC BIOTECHNOLOGY IN SKUAST-K
Vision: Sustainable growth for pursuit of the Vision 2020 of a developed India.
Way forward: Inclusive growth of all regions and sections for better utilization of its resources
Major determinant of our vision 2020: Knowledge and skill of our wokforce
Challenge: Build knowledge society for a knowledge economy
SKUAST-K: presents a special case of catering the R & D problems of two unique regions of the country:
Temperate (Kashmir region)
Cold arid desert (Ladakh region)
Agro-climatic diversity: Varied topography and geography Mercury fluctuations: -35OC to + 35OC Precipitation: <100 mm in Ladakh to 500 mm Temperate
Livestock husbandry : Rich Biodiversity : having unique traits evolved over
centuries under natural selection. important component of our economy Contributes 40% to State agricultural GDP Primary source of income to 20% people Serves as an insurance cover to farmers against frequent
crop failures
Role of Trained resource personal in Animal Biotechnology
shall help the state to get ready for the technology driven Biorevolution or Gene Revolution
enabling us to engineer the animals to grow and reproduce more efficiently, thus increasing productivity,
produce livestock having, resistance to disease, higher quality nutrients, ability to accommodate extreme environments
to produce biomolecules of value in human and veterinary medicine.
This is likely to provide solutions to many of the challenges we face now
IMPACT OF HRD
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAM HRD in Animal Biotechnology to take up the challenges of
the 21st Century for food and nutritional security through sustainable farm animal production vis-à-vis poverty alleviation
Create state-of-art infrastructure for teaching and research activities in Animal Biotechnology
Stimulate research activities in Animal Biotechnology and related areas to address the region specific problems vis-à-vis our rich animal biodiversity and climate change
Strive for University-Industry Alliance as an opportunity for industry sponsorship of research in the long-run, and in return for technology development and transfer to the private sector
Encourage entrepreneurship in biotechnology and related areas to benefit from one of the fastest growing industry (35% growth in the last few years) and to contribute to the socio-economic growth of the state.
MAJOR RESEARCH AREAS Allele mining for biotic and abiotic stress tolerance genes in livestock and
poultry Milk Genomics: QTL mapping for yield and quality of milk Genetic characterization of indigenous species of livestock and poultry for
conservation of biodiversity Development and standardization of molecular diagnostic techniques for
diagnosis of animal diseases Molecular epidemiology of micro-organisms involved in severe outbreaks
of diseases in animals in the region Molecular characterization of local isolates of pathogens associated with
important diseases of livestock and poultry Development of field oriented spot-diagnostic kits for important livestock
diseases Multiplication of elite livestock through reproductive technologies for
augmenting livestock productivity Micromanipulation of embryos and embryo sexing Enzyme technology for improving feed efficiency of livestock and poultry Value-addition of animal origin foods using biotechnological approaches.
