Brief Introduction:
The Department of
Zoology as a post-graduate department came into
existence on 11th February 2005 and the first batch
of M.Sc. students was admitted in academic session
beginning 2006. The department offers PG course in
Zoology with an intake capacity of 20 students. The
syllabus of M.Sc course is framed on UGC guidelines.
The department also offers Ph.D. training to
deserving students and presently, eight students are
working for their Ph.D degrees. It is proposed to
initiate the M.Phil. programme soon.
The department is
in the process of setting up a modern animal house
and tissue culture facilities, museum and procure
state of art equipments required to cater to the
needs of teaching and research. The department has
an able faculty of five and is headed by prof.Ganesh
Chandra Jagetia. Apart from Prof. Jagetia, the
department has two Readers, Dr.G.S.Solanki and Dr.G.
Gurusubramanian and two Lecturers including Mr. H.T
Lalremsanga and Ms.E.Lalhmingliani.
The department
strives to undertake cutting edge research in the
fields of cancer biology, radiation biology,
molecular genetics, conservation biology, natural
resource management, animal-plant-microbe
interactions, biocontrol and other related areas.
Cancer is the second largest killer in the world and
despite longstanding research the complete cure of
cancer has remained a distant dream. It is the
endeavour of the department to carry out research to
relieve the suffering of the cancer patients and
protect them against the mutagenic effect of
radiation during treatment by carrying out
translational research. Mizoram is one of the major
areas of biodiversity hot spot and home for various
endemic & endangered fauna. The efforts will be made
to conserve the biodiversity in general and the
specific emphasis on endemic species. Around 57%
geographical area of mizoram is under bamboo cover
ranging from 400 to 1500m above MSL and the rest
with other crops, where the condition for build up
of pest population are conducive that result in
loses and famine. Changing agricultural practices
have aggravated the situation further , therefore it
is necessary to establish novel approaches including
integrated pest management, use of natural enemies,
biopesticides, pheromones, proteinase inhibitors
etc. to reduce the pesticide load.
