At the
society, we believe that an institution, however, illustrious its past,
must always strive to create stronger future. In view of this, the society
strengthened its presence in the areas of biotechnology and tissue culture.
As a focused initiative, the society further developed better varieties
of Papaya and Banana strains. The society also invested the central
government's grant to upgrade its infrastructure. The Mist chamber was
renovated and the infrastructure (flooring, humidifiers and air conditioners)
upgraded.
Besides,
the society took its mission outside its premises. It organized tree
plantations in the Thakurpukur Cancer Research Hospital, Victoria Memorial
premises, the Botanical Gardens and the Behala Blind School, among other
places. It celebrated Varsha Mangal during monsoons by planting nearly
12,000 saplings and seedlings. |
