About DBT STAR college scheme

Department of Biotechnology initiated Star College Scheme in the year 2008 to strengthen the Universities and Colleges offering Undergraduate education. The program emphasizes on improving the critical thinking and hands on experimental work to improve science teaching across the country. DBT will identify colleges with ambition and potential for excellence and help them in achieving excellence in teaching by providing academic and physical infrastructure.

Objectives
  • To provide high-quality graduate programs which are both skill and knowledge based by interdisciplinary approach
  • To accomplish significant research in all fields of Science in collaboration with National & International Institutes
  • To provide an affordable and unparalleled learning experience in a supportive environment by conducting workshops, field trips ,internships, Outreach activities etc
  • To impart quality education by providing hands on training with a practical approach

DBT Star College Scheme at Bhavan’s Vivekananda College:

The college was sanctioned with DBT Star college Scheme in the year 2019 in which six science departments were recommended by the Fourth Task force Meeting for financial support. The college was funded with a total grant of 1.23 crores for strengthening six Undergraduate departments of Biochemistry, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics & Statistics, Microbiology and Physics & Electronics.

The scheme was implemented successfully for the period of 3 years (2019-2021).

In continution to this, Bhavan's Vivekananda College of Science, Humanities and Commerce has been accorded the extension of the strengthening component of the Star College Scheme for a period of 2 years with effect from 2022-2024 with a grant of 42 Lakhs.
