INTRODUCTION TO DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY :

The Department of Zoology was started in 1992 offering B.Sc. Zoology. In 2001 the department was upgraded into a postgraduate department and started offering M.Sc. Zoology with specialization in Environmental Biology and Entomology. In 2005 the department becomes university recognized centre for Higher Learning and Research. The department has well equipped laboratories for under-graduate, post-graduate and Ph.D. courses, separate laboratories for Post-Graduation specialization. Classrooms and laboratories are updated for an effortless learning experience. The department has an excellent museum which includes many rare specimens. The departmental library has a good collection of textbooks, reference books, encyclopedia and journals of national and international reputes. Other facilities include Instrumentation Room, Computer Room with Broadband Internet Connection. The department has everything not only to run under-graduate and post-graduate courses but also to undertake research activities. Besides teaching activity in the department, faculty members are engaged themselves in co-curricular activities too.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DEPARTMENT :

Dr. Pravin Charde has been appointed as a Member of Gorewada Biodiversity Project, Forest Department and Government of Maharashtra.
Consistently excellent results of under-graduate and post-graduate courses.
Total 30 research students have been awarded Ph.D. degree
