Dr. Sumit Purohit, in-charge of the institute said that the students were given training to make seed discs prepared from biopaste.
Mr. Kaushal Kumar, Ray Foundation Chairman said that during the training, the students were also told about the preparation of plants by tissue culture method in the institute. Important information was shared with the students and they were made aware that instead of throwing the waste materials, they can be used for making seed discs. This will help in purifying the environment and the problem of global warming will also be reduced.
The above program was done under the guidance of Dr. Rajendra Doval, Council of Biotechnology, Uttarakhand.
