PREFACE
It gives me great pleasure to write a project report of our study tour, which was an unforgettable event in my degree course. Study tour gaves me such memorable moments which I can’t forget through out my life.All my group members enjoyed these moments with great pleasure along with our respected , Prof. A.A.Bharose & Dr.A.M.Dhete; who behaves us in a friendly manner & make the tour more joyful & playful.
Tour was planned from 16/09/10 to 03/10/10 . In these 18 days we visited about nine research institutes which includes;
1) International Crops Research Institute for the Semi aired tropics, Hyderabad,
2)Tamil nadu Agricultural university Coimbatore,
3)Center For Plant Molecular Biology Coimbatore,
4)Forest College And Research Institute TNAU,
5)Sugar cane Breeding Institute Coimbatore ,
6)Kerala Agricultural University Trichur ,
7)IT-BT Complex Trichur,
8)Indian Institute Of Horticulture Research Mysore &
9)Central Food Technology Research Institute Benglore.
During this, we got lot of knowledge about research work & information about the institutes. Along with research institute we have also observed various cultures in India & come to know the actual meaning of “UNITY IN DIVERSITY”.

    In recent decades, people have come to the idea that there is truly something sinister about genetically modified organisms. Contrary to what many people believe, genetically modified organisms possess the ability to juristically benefit the world in a number of positive ways. Genetic engineering can help create a larger production and a longer shelf life for crops, making it possible to safely send and transport them to countries and nations without access to nutritious sources of food, they can also protect and conserve the environment, requiring less pesticides to be used by farmers each year, and they can also alter the nutrition and mineral content, reaching those around the world in fighting malnutrition, a troublesome cause of…

    Genetically modified plants and animals are changing our world in ways that are becoming too vividly discernable. Its techniques have been utilized in several fields including agriculture, medicine, enhancement in humans, and so on. Enzymes used in laundry detergent and medicines, such as human growth hormones and insulin are manufactured in genetically modified cells. Since the first genetically engineered crops were approved for entry into the market in 1987, their use has become widespread by farmers in the U.S. However, hunger still persists. “Biotechnology is one of tomorrow’s tools in our hands today. Slowing its acceptance is a luxury our hungry world cannot afford.” (Robbins, 2002) While there are some benefits to biotechnology, there are also its controversial counterparts. Creations such as herbicide resistant crops, fast-growing animals and humans who are immune to disease are without-say, useful handiworks except, who knows just what complications may arise? When a vector (used to replace human defective genes with functional copies) is inserted inside the human body, it is altered so it does not cause…

    An area in which Genetically Modified Organisms are relatively prevalent is agriculture. Genetically Modified foods are created to serve the purpose of creating a crop plant for animal or plant utilization. According to Deborah B. Whitman, outcomes of the genetic modifications are desirable and seemingly harmless characteristics such as making the crop more pest resistant, disease resistant, herbicide resistant, or more nutritionally valuable. In addition to these advantages, this technology also has the potential to solve a very serious issue facing less developed countries; the issue of medication and pharmaceutics. Since the development and mass production of vaccination is very costly and requires a high degree of scientific advancement, many third world countries face a challenge when it comes to that aspect. GM food researchers have the ability to potentially integrate medications and vaccines into crops, thus solving this problem. The use of these techniques can also yield more crops which can help solve food shortages. With…
