CERTIFICATE
This is certified that Ms. Pooja Chauhan D/o Shri. Chandra Bhushan Chauhan, carried
out her dissertation cum project work under my supervision for partial fulfillment of her
M.Sc (Biotechnology) from Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Avadh University, Ayodhya (U.P.).
The ensuing dissertation report entitled “Biotechnological Interventions in Some Medicinal
and Aromatic Plants” embodies the details pertaining to the lay out and salient findings of
the experiments with which she was associated during her training period at CSIR-CIMAP
from 4th February to 4th August, 2019. During this period Pooja was provided with in depth
exposure to all basic tools of Plant Biotechnology like plant morphogenesis, in vitro tissue
banking, genomic DNA isolation, Synthetic seed Technology etc.
During her project work Pooja has shown keen interest in all the task assigned to her. She
is very hardworking and blessed with a strong desire to learn more. She has shown a
systematic approach towards her laboratory experimentations. I have always found her
very sincere towards her assigned work. I am confident that Pooja will be able to
independently plan, execute and interpret her experiments in her future research career.
I wish her all the best in life.
