Our department was established in 1963, since its inception it has been striving to disseminate quality education in the field of zoology with galaxy of intellectual faculty members. It is certainly a feather in our cap to have a faculty like Dr. N R Birasal who had been adjudged as “BEST TEACHER AND BEST RESEARCHER OF HAVERI DISTRICT” (2006-07).

Presently our department has four qualified and well experienced teaching staff members and one menial staff. Prof Y.H.Yalavigi is the present Head of the Department.

About Zoology

Zoology (also known as animal science) is the branch of biology devoted to study of animal life. It covers study of animals both living and extent, including their anatomy and physiology, embryology, genetics, evolution, classification, habits, behaviour and distribution. Zoology is both descriptive and analytical. It can be approached either as basic science or as an applied science. It is now considered as an interdisciplinary field that applies a great variety of techniques to obtain the knowledge of animal kingdom.

Objectives of the Department

• To disseminate knowledge regarding various fields of zoology.


• To make learners understand the essence of zoology in shaping our planet.


• To empower learners economically by supplementing knowledge and skills towards sericulture, vermiculture, Aquaculture, poultry, Apiculture etc.


• To facilitate research in zoology


• To impart holistic education to learners and enable them to sail through global competition.
