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.
