About the College

Maharani's Science College for women is a premier institution imparting quality
science education for girls from the past 75 years, housing all major science
departments affiliated to Bangalore University managed by Department of Higher
Education (Collegiate Education Section), Government of Karnataka. Presently the
College offers 13 undergraduate and 05 post graduate programmes. College Caters
to the need of higher education of large no. of rural students (women). College

NAAC with a grade point average of 2.78. With over 1,100 students, from under
graduate to post graduate studies, the campus is known for its salubrious
atmosphere, heritage culture, excellence in teaching, high degree of discipline, deep
mutual respect, abiding spirit of tolerance, strong appreciation for all cultures, deep
reverence for all religions, intense attachment to ethical values, state of the art
facilities, multiplicity of avenues for all round growth of the individual and efficient as
well as enlightened administration, drawing appreciative accolades from the
University as well as governmental bodies.

About the Department

The Department of Chemistry was established in 1938 as the largest Department
in the College providing both Under Graduate and Post Graduate courses. The post
graduate department of biochemistry is a part of Chemistry department established
in the year 2008. The deparment is associated with well equipped laboratories,
which enables research culture. One of the commendable contributions of the
department has been the creation and sustenance of a rigorous dynamic and vibrant
masters program in biochemistry that imparts conventional and new knowledge in
an innovative manner, which ensures that fresh, young minds are trained and
oriented to create newer knowledge in turn.

About the NCERAFIB-2015

The NCERAFIB-2015 aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers
and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results
about all aspects of biocatalysts in agriculture, food and industry. It also provides the
premier interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary forum for researchers and educators
to present and discuss the most recent innovations. The conference also provides
platform to discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted
in the field of biotechnology.

Objectives
l
