Successful commercialization of products from Recombinant DNA technology, henceforth called Biotechnology, will depend on the nature of the technological advances, government regulations, and public acceptance. Public perceptions of Biotechnology are important components in the ultimate approval and use of new technology. At the last of the 20th century, it emerged as a new discipline and is going on a rhythmic motion by the demand of our civilization. In recent years revolution in biology has occurred due to the potential of biotechnology. In the present study, we assessed the knowledge and perception of Biotechnology and its applications in different sectors of our society and environment for the benefit of humanity.
