The Department of Microbiology at under graduate level in HKE Society’s Smt. VeerammaGangasiri College for Women, Gulbarga, was established in the month of August 1985. The inauguration of the department was done by Sri. Veeranna, the Honorable Minister for Small Savings, Govt. of Karnataka and also Incharge Minister for Gulbarga District. Sri.Basawarajappa Appa was the President of H.K.E. Society.
The Department of Microbiology came into existence as one of the independent Department of Biological Science in Smt. V. G. Women’s College with an aim to impart the Knowledge of various branches of Microbiology at under graduate level. Microbiology is one of the new emerging important Biological Science having great relevance to the field of Medicine, Industry, Agriculture, Dairy Science, Food and confectionaries and also has greater importance for higher studies as well as for job opportunities. As such the knowledge at the under graduate level of such an important and an applied subject has a greater justification of orienting of our young, generation towards a meaningful future, is a valuable legacy that a society can leave behind.
Further this is the one and the only undergraduate Microbiology Department among all the affiliated colleges, it is affiliated to Karnataka State Women’s University, Vijayapur and also it is a first under graduate course to be started in the Karnataka state.
With this background the Department of Microbiology at under graduate level has been imparting knowledge of Microbiology for over 31 years serving the cause of education of the people of this region in particular and the nation at large.
The department is housed in an independent with adequate space provision for class room, with glass board and sitting arrangement for about 40 students, Laboratory, inoculation chamber, Demonstration room and staff room. The laboratory is well furnished with essential and advanced instruments and equipments such as Olympus HB model microscopes, Autoclave, Centrifuge, Spectrophotometer, Anaerobic jar, Hot air oven, Electronic weighing balance, Colony counter, Micropipettes, Laminar air flow, Incubator, Magnetic stirrer, Rotary shaker, PH meter and MLXTR Microscope with camera monitor attachment for demonstration purpose. The department is also equipped with modern technique aids having a computer based biological CD players which helps the students for better understandings.

Program Outcome
Microbiology is a fascinating branch of biology with applications in several fields such as biotechnology, molecular biology, medicine, nanotechnology, bioinformatics, agriculture and industry. With the advent of recombinant DNA technology, researches on microbiology have enabled us to produce transgenic plants, animals, fungi and bacteria with new genetic traits. Conceptually, the way one studies living organisms has changed in fundamental ways as there seems to be very little difference between microbes and higher organisms at the functional level. The behavior of basic molecules of life such as nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids seem to be the same and these molecules are interchangeable in different organisms.
As a result of the development of molecular biology and biotechnology, new fields of specialization known as bioethics, biosafety, environmental impacts, biological patents, and intellectual property rights have evolved. Public perceptions and acceptance of the applications of the knowledge of molecular biology, will be to a large extent influenced by ethics, cultural moores, and safety of the products of biotechnology. There is now a hot debate underway to restrict research funding in some areas that are fundamentally changing the methods of reproduction through nuclear transformation and cloning in animal systems with potential application in human cloning. The students of biology are well advised to be alert to these developments in order to shape their professional careers. Since understanding of microorganisms has advanced considerably during the last 15-20 years there have been many changes in higher education with microbiology being and important component of college and university curriculum in applied biology.
