(Med) semester-II were taken to the vermicomposting unit of Guru Nanak Dev University to understand the concept of vermicomposting and the latest research being conducted in the university in this applied field. The students learnt the technical aspects of vermicomposting and had an interactive session with the resource person. Dr. Arvinder Kaur explained the methods for increasing the nitrogen content of the vermicompost and enrichment of the vermicompost with various micronutrients. She emphasized the significance of organic farming for human health and strongly negated the use of pesticides which are very harmful as they lead to various diseases. It is pertinent to mention here that BBK DAV College for Women was conferred with \u201cSTAR COLLEGE STATUS\u201d by Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India, in January 2014.
