               The Department of Zoology has been initiated in the academic year 2018-19 to equip the students with knowledge necessary skills and orient them towards research in the field of Zoology. The Department offers Zoology as one of the optional subject for B.Sc students. It has Chemistry, Botany and Zoology (CBZ) combinations to the students.

Aim:

               To make every pupil to understand the basic biological concepts of Evolution, Biodiversity, Adaptation and development. Natural resources and their sustainable uses.

Objectives:

  • To make every students understand the basic concepts of Zoology.
  • To provide a strong foundation and motivation for applying fundamental concepts of Zoology
  • To make students understands the challenges in the field of Biology
  • To create awareness about conservation of flora and fauna
  • To make students application of knowledge to various disciplines like Agriculture, Sericulture, and Dairy, Poultry, Vermiculture, Apiculture and Animal husbandry.

Strategies:

  • To conduct bridge course for new students
  • To conduct Guest lectures / Seminars / Workshops / Study tours
  • To conduct the students seminars
  • To evaluate the students progress from time to time
