The Department of Microbiology annually orchestrates MICROBLAZE, a technical fest aimed at fostering knowledge acquisition among students in the realm of biological sciences. This flagship event encompasses a spectrum of activities, including enlightening talk sessions delivered by distinguished scientists in the field of applied life sciences, along with events meticulously crafted to assess and stimulate students' scientific acumen.

During MICROBLAZE'23-24, the latest edition of our annual departmental magazine, 'EVANESCENT,' was unveiled. The issue, titled "The Microbial Trifecta: Shield Sherlock Security," is a testament to the industrious efforts of our students who played integral roles in its conception, authorship, editing, and design. As part of our Social Outreach Program, the department initiated the dissemination of an informative leaflet elucidating the profound significance of microbes in our daily lives. This commendable effort represents a small yet impactful stride towards raising awareness about this pivotal subject not only within intellectual circles but also among the general populace. In a conscious effort to maximize reach, the information in the leaflet is presented bilingually. The distribution of these leaflets was orchestrated among both teaching and non-teaching staff members, ensuring a comprehensive dissemination of knowledge and understanding.
