About us:
Mizoram University (Accredited with ‘A’ Grade by NAAC) was
established on 2nd July 2001 as a Central University. The objectives of the
University is "to disseminate and advance knowledge by providing
instructional and research facilities in such branches of learning as it may
deem fit, to make provisions for integrated courses in humanities, natural
and physical & social sciences, forestry and other allied disciplines in the
educational programmes of the University; to take appropriate measures for
promoting innovations in teaching-disciplinary studies and research; to
educate and train man-power in the development of the state of Mizoram;
and to pay special attention to the improvement of the social and economic
conditions and welfare of the people of the State, their intellectual, academic
and cultural development".
The Department of Biotechnology was established in the year 2007. The
department offers a two year M. Sc., Degree Course in Biotechnology.
Doctoral programme leading to Ph.D. is also being offered at the department.
The department is undertaking research projects and has attracted funds
from various agencies such as DBT, DST, CSIR and UGC.
The Bioinformatics Infrastructure Facility (BIF) was established by the
DBT, Government of India in the year 2008 and the facility is housed in the
Dept. of Biotechnology of the Mizoram University. This facility has
high/medium end servers and state of the art desktop machines and
softwares.
Mizoram falls under the ‘Eastern Himalayas’ & Aizawl is the state
capital. It is situated at an altitude of 900 meters above sea level. The
importance of this region at the global stage can be vouched from the fact
that the region lies within the Indo-Burma mega diversity hotspot. The total
area of Mizoram is 21,087 km2, the majority of it being forest cover.
Temperature varies from 18 to 29˚C in summer and from 11 to 24˚C in
winter.
How to reach Aizawl:
AIR: Lengpui airport is approx. 40 kms from Aizawl city and is connected by
flights from Kolkata and Guwahati.
ROAD: Aizawl is connected by NH 54. Buses and maxi cabs are available from
Guwahati to Aizawl via. Silchar.
