Biotechnology JNKVV

The term Biotec hnology was coined by karl Ereky a Hungarian engineer in 1919. This term is derived from a fusion of Biology and Technology Biotechnology is not a pure science but an integrated affect of these two areas, the root of which lies in biological sciences.The contents of this notes are as follows : Biotechnology, Definitions, Major concepts and importance, International organizations involved in biotechnology, Biotechnology in India.
