RESEARCH & PUBLICATIONS
Zoology Department is an undergraduate department with just 5 staff members. Of these, 3 have research experience. At present, 1 research project financed by BCUD, Pune & 1 mini research project funded by the college management are in progress. The ideal concept, Project per person cannot be implemented because 1 member is due to retire & 2 members are temporary. These members, though desirous & capable of undertaking research cannot get financial assistance from any source. A total of 18 research papers were published by the teachers- 6 in International Journals & 12 in National Journals.
The following tables show the research activities and number of publications of the number of publications of the department:
