Info-technology is passe bio-technology is the rage .it is in the fore-front of research in developed countries and the trend is catching in India. In a decade from now the mantra would be bio informatics,a fusion of InfoTech and bio technology. Biotechnology applies an assortment of techniques to living cells to produce a particular product of improved quality. It is an integrated approach that requires knowledge of the different branches of science. It can be an exciting and intriguing field for those with a scientific mind and can find unexpected possibilities in this field. Biotechnology is a research-oriented field and covers areas like medicine, pharmacy, agriculture and the environment. It finds applications in most of the industries like chemical, pharmaceutical, textiles, genetics and agriculture. Some of the important tasks include - the production of bio-processed, material-like food, pharmaceuticals, tissue culture and chemicals as well as the execution of pollution controlled measures, developmental studies in regions like waste
