Dr. R. Anburaj , Associate Professor of Microbiology and IQAC Deputy Coordinator in the Department of Biotechnology, Microbiology, and Bioinformatics at National College (Autonomous), successfully completed a 14-days Science Academie's Refresher Course on "Evolutionary Biology of Plant and Animal Adaptation." The program was organized by the PG & Research Department of Botany at Vivekanandha College of Arts and Sciences for Women (Autonomous), Tiruchengode, and was sponsored by the Indian Academy of Sciences , Bengaluru, the Indian National Science Academy , New Delhi, and The National Academy of Sciences, Uttar Pradesh. This successfully completed course would not have been possible without the steadfast support of Shri. K. Ragunathan Sir, Secretary, Dr. K. Kumar Sir, Principal, and Dr. D.
