DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY

About the Department:

The Department of Zoology of Hindu College was established in the year 1972 and since then it has become a leading Department for undergraduate studies in the field of Animal Sciences. The accomplished faculty of this Department nurtures the young students so that they are able to hone their skills, and empowers them to carve out a niche for themselves in a highly competitive world. This has enabled its alumni to distinguish themselves in diverse fields such as Research, Academics, Indian Forest services, Civil services, the Armed Forces, Management, etc. The training and expertise of the Department's Faculty in specialised fields like Cell Biology, Entomology, Fish Biology, Molecular Biology, Immunology, Microbiology, Animal Behaviour, Endocrinology, Chronobiology etc. greatly helps in laying the foundation for the academic and professional development of students by supplementing curriculum-based studies with hands-on research, workshops, symposiums, seminars and lectures.

The holistic development of students is ensured by engaging them in various curricular and extra-curricular activities planned and conducted throughout the year by GENESIS, the Departmental society. GENESIS offers the students a chance for self-expression and self-assertion and helps to develop their social skills. The students are responsible for planning and execution of the activities of the society and this inculcates in them a sense of responsibility and brings to the fore their innate leadership qualities. The Department aims to train students not only for achieving excellence in their chosen field of study, but also enables them to become individuals who will be frontrunners in solving the various scientific and societal challenges faced by the world.

The Department celebrated the Golden Jubilee of its establishment in the year 2023. The Department of Zoology marked its 50th year of excellence by celebrating the concept of ‘Evolution’. The entire event was conceptualized as a multidisciplinary dialogue on the nature of Human evolution inclusive of the biological perspective but not limited by it. The Department of zoology launched its first magazine “ZOOLOGIQA” on the theme 'EVOLUTIONIS'.
