to teach Bio Sciences to the Pre-Degree students. In 1982, the
department started undergraduate course in Zoology. Post graduate (MSc) program
was introduced in the academic year 2013.The department has two well equipped
laboratories for Anatomy, Biochemistry, instrumentation and Microbiology. A
well-maintained Museum displaying a versatile collection of invertebrates
including corals, vertebrates and skeletal specimens for osteology study.
Department also maintains lovebirds and ornamental fishes in its premises. Department
conduct certificate courses in Vermicomposting, Health and Sex education. Value
added course in Aquaponics. Department regularly conducts Nature camps and
visit reputed National institutes for giving exposure and awareness on the
latest trends in scientific research. Important days were celebrated-Environment
Day, Tiger Day, Ozone Day, wildlife week, Aids Day etc. to create awareness and
a sense of belongingness to care mother nature. The department has a very
active students association named ‘Xancus’, which aims to promote the
