The man learnt the art of biotechnology more as an accident than the result of a systematic investigation. Today we live in an age of crisis for getting nutritive food, non-toxic drugs and healthy environment. The survival ability of an organism depends on its interaction with the environment. Hence it should be a global vision for every man to maintain environmental peace and to protect the habitable nature of this planet. The value of a technology with out commercial realization is nil as the calorific value of food that is not eaten is zero. Today percolation of research in to the industry becomes a need and urge for the growth of a country. The mission of Louis Pasteur Center for Biotechnology abbreviated as (LPCB) the scientific and charitable society is to develop an intelligent, creative scientific community for solving the ultimate need of the entire people of this macrocosm without disturbing the environmental harmony. The society aims to educate the students by developing their creative skills in Biotechnology. The Society offers all the infrastructure at cellular and molecular level to all research scholars for developing an excellent scientific career.
