The Story in Brief
Andhra University's Department of Biotechnology will run a five-day Faculty Development Programme on emerging biotech frontiers from August 24 to 28. The Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan-funded course will cover artificial intelligence in biotechnology, fermentation technology and biomanufacturing.
Vice-Chancellor G.P. Raja Sekhar unveiled the poster on Friday. Head of Department P. Radhika said the programme will use expert lectures and interactive sessions, targeting faculty in biotechnology, microbiology and biochemistry from Andhra University and its affiliated colleges.
The Indian Opinion
Too many government-funded faculty programmes exist only on paper. This one has a concrete syllabus, named speakers and a clear audience, which is a start. But the real test is whether the sessions actually teach usable skills or become another certificate-issuing exercise. Watch how many faculty members attend all five days and what projects come out of it. That will show if the money spent on RUSA is producing better teachers or just more paperwork.
