The Department of Bioscience and Engineering, National Institute of Technology Calicut (NIT Calicut), organised its Fifth One-Day Hands-on Workshop for School Students on 28 October 2026, providing 32 students from various schools with an opportunity to explore the fascinating field of biological sciences.
The workshop aimed to familiarise students with the fundamental concepts and practical applications of biosciences through interactive lectures, laboratory visits and experimental demonstrations.
Coordinated by Dr. Md. Anaul Kabir, the programme commenced with an inaugural session attended by the Head of the Department, faculty members, teachers, PhD scholars and participating students.
The academic sessions featured an expert lecture by Dr. Anaul Kabir, followed by visits to the Molecular Biology Laboratory and other laboratory facilities. The participants also gained hands-on exposure to scientific techniques and experimental procedures through demonstrations coordinated by Dr. Tom Skaria and Dr. K. Rathinasamy, with the assistance of PhD research scholars.
The workshop concluded with a valedictory session and the distribution of certificates to the participants.
Through such educational outreach initiatives, NIT Calicut continues to promote scientific awareness, foster experiential learning and inspire young minds to pursue careers in science, research and innovation.
