We must teach students at all levels (from school to PhDs) benefits of 'discussing' with their peers, and how to do so without feeling inadequate or threatened. Our exam-oriented system makes students mug up text books, but they don't know when and how to engage in a discussion.

Since inception in 1986 Tissue Culture & Cryopreservation Unit at ICAR-NBPGR pioneered development of micropropagation, in vitro conservation & cryopreservation protocols & applying them for in vitro genebanking (1,927 accessions, 38K cultures) & cryo-genebanking (12K accessions).
