Association

Zoology department established a club named “Club Zoa” for the theme cosmo learning of diverse life forms and it’s interacting with their environment. A host of co-curricular activities are organised every academic year to make learning beyond the class room activities which include seminars, symposium guest lecturer and outreach programmes through “Club Zoa” a departmental student participatory club.
