About the Department:

The Department of Biodiversity & Conservation of Natural Resources under the School of Biodiversity and & Conservation of Natural Resources (School of BCNR) was established in the year 2011-12. Presently the School offers M.Sc. courses in Biodiversity & Conservation of Natural Resources. Research Programme (M.Phil and Ph.D.) was initiated from the academic session 2014-15. Biodiversity Conservation and threats to biodiversity, cultural biodiversity, sustainable development, climate change, marine biodiversity, man-animal conflict, eco-physiology, remote sensing and bioinformatics are thrust areas.

The Department is carrying out research activities in collaboration with different academic institutes, industries and different government bodies.
