The Department of Life Science, Sri Bhagawan Mahaveer  Jain First Grade College , KGF organized an educational visit to Gandhi Krishi Vigyana Kendra (GKVK), University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru, on 7^th August 2026.

The main objective of the visit was to provide with practical exposure to the applications of biotechnology in horticulture, plant tissue culture, mushroom cultivation  and biofertilizer technology. The visit helped students relate the theoretical concepts learned in classrooms to their practical applications in agriculture, plant propagation, mushroom cultivation and sustainable crop production.

The students gained an understanding of the major stages involved in micro propagation:

• Selection of suitable plant material or explants
• Surface sterilization
• Preparation of culture medium
• Inoculation under aseptic conditions
• Shoot multiplication
• Root induction
• Hardening and acclimatization
• Transfer of plants to soil or growing conditions

The students were able to understand the importance of maintaining aseptic conditions to prevent microbial contamination.

One of the major highlights of the visit was learning about plant tissue culture.

The students gained an understanding of the major stages involved in micropropagation:

• Selection of suitable plant material or explant
• Surface sterilization
• Preparation of culture medium
• Inoculation under aseptic conditions
• Shoot multiplication
• Root induction
• Hardening and acclimatization
• Transfer of plants to soil or growing conditions

Students learned about the importance of beneficial microorganisms associated with agricultural production and the potential applications of microbial biotechnology in agriculture.

30 students and 5 faculty members actively participated

The Department of Life Science organized an Awareness Program on 5^th June 2026 at A. Mothakapalli. The program aimed to educate the local community about the importance of a balanced diet and the health benefits of organic foods.

Students and faculty members interacted with residents and created awareness regarding healthy eating habits, nutritional requirements, and the advantages of consuming organically grown food products for overall well-being.The awareness program provided an opportunity for students to engage in community outreach activities and apply their knowledge to promote health and nutrition among the public.

A total of 25 students and 5 faculty members actively participated in the program, contributing to its successful implementation and positive impact on the community.

The Department of Life Science organized a field visit from 5 June 2026 to 10 June 2026 at A. Mothakapalli. The visit focused on the topics of Soil Biology and Soil Health.

During the visit, students gained practical knowledge about the importance of soil pH, nutrient availability, and organic pest control in sustainable agriculture. The program provided insights into the relationship between soil health and crop productivity, helping students understand the biological processes that support healthy soil ecosystems.

A total of 280 students participated in the field visit. They learned about the applications of organic farming practices and biopest control systems, observing how environmentally friendly methods can be used to improve agricultural productivity while reducing dependence on chemical inputs.

The field visit offered valuable hands-on experience and enhanced students’ understanding of sustainable soil management and organic agricultural practices.

The Department of Life Science observed World Health Day on 9th April 2026 theme ” Together for Health stand with science” organised awareness program for public on how to combat heat in summer with home made food and less cost easily available fruits and vegetables.

25 students and 3 faculty members participated actively meeting the shopkeepers.
