The current millennium is the age of biological sciences. Today, we have the conceptual, experimental, mathematical and information technology to understand the complexity of inputs that go into the integrated study of the Science of Life. Also, with changing modes of production and climate change, the role of Life Sciences is increasing rapidly to the extent that our long-term wellbeing would be highly dependent on our understanding of the biological processes. The Faculty of Life Sciences is home to degree courses that are directly related to the basic elements of people's lives. Life Sciences transforms findings from the natural sciences into innovative technologies intended to improve people's lives. It brings together the natural sciences, engineering and non-technical disciplines. Faculty of Life Sciences includes six departments such as Department of Biotechnology, Department of Energy and Environmental  Sciences, Department of Food Science and Technology, Department of Botany, Department of Zoology and Department of Microbiology. The Faculty from the various departments trains postgraduate students in wide spectrum of Life Sciences. The endeavor of the Faculty is to teach the latest concepts, research technologies and prepare students for careers in research and teaching. The area includes Environmental Science, Biotechnology; Molecular and Cellular Biology; Microbiology; Plant Biotechnology; Immunology; Fermentation; Animal Biotechnology; Food Technology, Dairy Technology and Sustainable Development. Students are also offered training on various aspects so that they may explore starting their own enterprises as creative entrepreneurs.
