Department of Zoology
The importance of study of animals is increasing with time as the animals form an integral part of nature. Animals are of utmost importance as far as the development of mankind in all possible ways is concerned. To give exposure of every possible field of zoology to the thirsty minds of this particular geographical area, the college established the Department of Zoology in 1992. In the department, we have well equipped museum with specimens from all phyla of the animal kingdom. The subject covers a broad scope and importance in Science stream. The students who are thinking their career in competitive exams like MPSC and UPSC, can opt for Zoology subject as this is one of the important subjects in the main examinations of MPSC and UPSC. Not only this, but the subject is having great importance as far as the prelims of other competitive exams wherever science is included are concerned. Thereby helping them to clear such exams. Besides this, the students after studying Zoology can work for the betterment of the society by understanding the role played by animals in nature and ultimately raising their voices for the conservation of the endangered animal species. The subject is potent enough to make the students earn money for a living through cottage industries like Sericulture, Apiculture, Lac-culture, Pisci-Culture, Vermin Compost, Butterfly farming, Goat farming, Buffalo Farming etc. By gaining the knowledge of Applied Zoology, humans not only secure money but they also learn to control different types of pests. Talking about research opportunities in Zoology, there are still various aspects of the animals which are yet to be studied waiting for the attention of students.
