History

Environmental studies were introduced as an elective special paper in the post-graduate course of studies around 1975 and has been continuing since then. Teaching and research in environmental biology has flourished since then. Presently we are introducing Environmental science in the Post-graduate courses which will integrate and cater to students of all branches of science for study and training in the broad environmental framework and produce a society with full environmental awareness so that the environment can be protected for future generations.

Faculty and Laboratory

The Department of Environmental Science has a well-equipped environmental laboratory for assessment of all aspects of the soil, atmosphere and aquatic environment, and is presently working for the development and expansion of the same. Guest faculty from other concerned universities and organization are also be invited for special lecture sessions. The students are then exposed to industrial training for real world experiences.

Program

The program reflects the integrated multidisciplinary approach required in modern environmental studies, research and ecosystem-based management. Marine, atmospheric, terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems are studied through basic scientific disciplines: physical, chemical and biological subsystems and its analysis using mathematical tools and techniques. This is the applied to conservation and management studies. There is a strong emphasis on practical aspects, field-based sampling, lab analysis, and links with industrial and environmental organizations. The course has been arranged such that in the first two semesters they will receive knowledge on the basics of environmental science while in the next four semesters they will have an insight in applied aspects and in planning and management strategies. Before they leave as environmental managers they will have industrial training and an experience in actual field studies and prepare projects. Seventy five percent (75%) attendance is a must for all students Inducted in the program.
