About the Department

The Department of Zoology was also established in 1974 along with the courses in science such as Botany, Zoology and Chemistry (BZC) both in Telugu and English medium. The Department started with  experienced, qualified, and skilled faculty. The  members attend seminars, workshops to  renew and enhance their  knowledge. The department organizes co-curricular activities every year in collaboration with various  academic bodies to make learning beyond the classroom and also arranges various Seminars, Workshops, Guest lectures, Field visits and Outreach programs for students  with an aim to expose the students to latest trends in various research fields. Recently from the academic year 2019-20 college has introduced different courses in life sciences  along with other zoology combinations such as, Microbiology, Biotechnology and Nutrition . Combinations with Computer sciences and Psychology  has  been introduced from the academic year 2020-21.

Vision

  • The vision of the Department of Zoology is to develop scientific temper among the students in animal science without destroying the nature and to train the students to take responsibility towards the preservation of nature.

Mission

  • To produce highly motivated graduates capable of making a significant contribution  towards sustainable development and well being of mankind
  • To provide advice and consultancy service in the field related to Zoology.

 Objectives of the department

The main objective of the department is to inculcate students interest in life sciences.

  • To provide quality education by offering skill based programs .
  • To motivate students for career in applied branches of Zoology.
  • To organize Zoology study tours and field trips to different places.

Abstract Blood is a one of the  body fluid which hashas four main components: Plasma, Red blood cells, White blood cells, and Platelets. Plasma constitutes about 55% of the blood and remaining are blood cells. Blood has many different functions, including: transporting oxygen, carbon dioxide to lungs, nutrients, hormones to the tissues. Therefore it is necessary to maintain the blood levels to a have healthy life.
Objectives Blood testing is done to know the following:

  1. Know the blood group
  2. Estimation of hemoglobin
  3. WBC count
  4. RBC count

 

Outcomes After testing we could help the students understand their health status. Anaemic students were advised to take better nutrient food to increase their blood levels. They understood the role of blood in normal functioning of the body and how to improve the blood composition.

Abstract Whenever we talk about any research mostly  the names of men scientists  come into picture. Not only students even the faculty doesn’t know much about the women scientist and their contribution to the society. So here on the event of Madam Curie birthday, the department organised this workshop. The speaker told about many incidents and stories of some of the women scientist and  the problems they faced to prove themselves. They gave  examples of scientists like Asima Chatterjee, Darshan  Ranganathan, Charusita Chakravarthy etc. They also enlightened us  with the  life of Madam Curie and all the scientists in her family.

They also clarified some superstitious myths  by  performing  the experiments  and relating it to science.

Objectives To promote science and scientific temper in society

The work shop was organized to develop research skills and to create awareness on the role of women in science and to eradicate superstitious belief system

To enhance the  confidence levels and improve the personality of the students.

Outcomes Students came to know about the women scientists, their discoveries and their contributions to  world of science and the society at large.

Through this they could understand that women deserve equal rights and opportunities as men, yet there are many challenges that a women has to face.
