Zoology is introduced as a subject for undergraduate students with the onset of the Department of Zoology on July 22nd 1996. It mainly encompasses the scientific knowledge of animals. The Department introduces the students with the biological aspects of both living and extinct animals. The Department mainly emphasizes to develop adequate knowledge of biodiversity study and ecosystem. It assists to expose the students with the scientific methods for testing and classification of animals based on characteristic anatomy. It opens the door for the need to study genetic evolution and the parameters to sustain the natural environment. The balance of the programme is managed through theoretical and practical sessions providing the hands on experience for the students. The Department is enabling the students towards specialization course in Zoology. The Department consists of three faculties having completed their Ph.D. in Physiology, Biotoxinology, Marine Biotechnology, Toxicology, Crustacean, Fishery, Parasitology etc. Specimens belonging to non-chordates, chordates, pathology, fishery etc. are displayed as per their classification to enrich the laboratory. It is also provided with skeleton of various animals including human. Stages of life cycle of animals are also available in form of resources, models. The department is also having the permanent slides of embryology, cytology, various parasites etc. Preservation of animals adds the glory of Zoological department.
The Department also runs departmental library supported with various reference, research journals and text books etc, for the students and staff. The faculty of the department is always keen to provide consultancies for vermiculture, sericulture, apiculture; fishery etc. The department also conducts various activities like blood donation, haemoglobin check up to nurture the importance of health among the students. The faculties have successfully completed 04 MRPs with the financial assistance by Dr. B.A.M.U. Aurangabad. The faculty has published two books. The department foster the faculty for research activity and participation and publication of research paprs in International/ National / State level conferences, seminars, workshops, symposia etc. The department is working with maximum efficiency by bridging the gap with various firms through MOUs. Department has established zoological students association under the title ‘Penguin Association’. The faculty uses ICT for effective teaching.
To foster a deep understanding of animal life through innovative research and education, contributing to conservation and sustainable development.
