Inauguration of Faculty Development Programme

Addressing the inaugural event of the faculty development programme, Professor C.S.P. Rao, Director, NIT AP said majority of the waste is produced from domestic, agricultural and industrial practices.

Management and treatment of a large volume of waste is a very challenging task. Biological treatment of waste with micro-organisms is promising for the treatment of the broad spectrum of waste in an economical method.

Further, we can couple the treatment process to generate energy and by employing Biovalorisation value-added products can be produced from waste, he said speaking at the inaugural of faculty development programme.

He further said the faculty development programme is emphasized on bridging the gap of ever-increasing demand for technologies that treat the waste in an effective and economical manner as well as resource recovery in the form of energy or platform chemicals.

This will encourage the researchers for carrying out their research with the aim of the utilization of waste as feedstock for the production of energy and valuable commercial products, he said speaking at the inaugural of the faculty development programme.

Ø Glyco genomics

Ø Bioconversion of organic waste

Ø Biomass Valorization

Ø Renewable chemical production

Ø Bio-economy

Ø Industrial waste treatment

Delivering the inaugural lecture at the faculty development programme, he said with the rapid increase in world population and industrialization, the generation of waste from various sources is on a constant rise.

‘Handling the large volume of waste is a challenging task especially in developing countries like India. Conventional treatment methods were found to be very expensive and also pose challenges for safeguarding public health.’

The biological route using microbial cells offers a potentially cost-effective alternative to overcome the challenges in waste management and production of commercially important products by biovalorisation methods, he said delivering the inaugural lecture at the faculty development programme.

Especially by employing micro-organisms, we can transform the waste to generate commercial products such as biomass, bioethanol, biodiesel, food products, and other value-added products, he said.

Ø Application of modern genomic techniques

Ø Technology translation from lab to industry

Ø Approaches for transforming waste into commercial products

Ø Integration of waste management for bio-economy.

Ø Food and environmental perspectives of industrial waste
