DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY Departmental History: The science faculty was establishment at the time of opening of the college in 1968. For further augmentation in scientific knowledge of Zoology, the department was established in the year 1984. In order to fulfil scientific need, and to increase the horizon of life science of rural students, the Rayat Shikshan Sanstha granted permission to introduce the subject Zoology. So, the Department of Zoology was the first to be established in the vicinity of Jurisdiction of Shivaji University, Kolhapur. Vision: To prepare students for various courses such as BMT, DMLT, Paramedical courses, Post –graduation in Life Sciences, Competitive Examinations, B.Sc. (Nursing), Dairy Technology, Poultry Technology, Fisheries, Sericulture, Apiculture, Goat Farming etc. Mission: After completion of the B.Sc. Zoology course the students will be registered for the Higher education courses such as M.Sc. (Zoology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Forensic Science, Environmental Science, Marine Biology) M.B.A., M.SW. Similarly the needy students will achieve their jobs. SWOT Analysis: - S W O T Analysis of the Department Strengths 1. Qualified and Experienced staff 2. Computer with Internet and Printer Facility for staff and students. 3. Separate B.Sc. III & B.Sc. II labs with store room. 4. Adequate number of chemicals and sophisticated equipment’s. 5. Staff is engaged actively in research. 6. The beneficial Project work Ex. Vermicomposting, Rearing and propagation of Guppy. 7. Farmers Library/Cell with Journal Agrobios, Baliraja. 8. Mulberry and Tussar Sericulture extension. 9. Bio visual charts adequate-No.55. 10. Short term Course on Vermicomposting 11. Remedial Course for B.Sc. I students belonging to SC, ST, NT, VJNT, OBC students. Opportunities: 1. Implementation of UGC Major Research Project 2. Organization of State level, National level and International level Conferences. 3. Starting of P.G course. 4. Recognition of M.Phil and Ph.D Laboratory. 5. Portable vermicomposting pits/organic farming. 6. Rearing of Mosquito fish and Guppy. 7. Indoor Aquaculture Practice-Maintenance of Aquarium. 8.
