Department Overview:

Mayurbhanj, the largest district of present Odisha, is a place of looms and lores in the History of Odisha. Shyama Sunder Sarangi in his book “A short History of Mayurbhanj” mention that men were living in the forest region, 50 thousand years ago. A lot of stone made weapons of the Pre –historic period have been discovered at Kuliana, Kalabadia, and other regions.

B.B. College is one of the ideal colleges situated in the remote tribal area Baiganbadia of Kuliana block. It is near to the district head quarter Baripade of Mayurbhanj district of Odisha. Baiganbadia is surrounded by Similipal Biosphere Reserve which is a precious heritage of Mayurbhanja, gifted by nature with full of Biodiversity.

The recent earth is running through an age of science & Technology. The new thoughts of Natural Science and Social Science have a very good interaction in the present circumstances. The earth is the only planet blessed with an Environment. Being intelligent, man is inventive to yield it’s secrets to him. The study of the living world is both vast and fascinating owing to it’s immense diversity. There are about four millions different types of bacteria, protozoa, plants & animals which predominant the life of human beings.

         Zoology deals with the scientific study of animals. It involves a vast aspect of discipline including physics, chemistry, medicine, Genetic engineering, Environment, Apiculture and Sericulture etc. Zoologist specializes in the physiology, embryology or anatomy or in my other branch.

Zoology – the science of animals creates an awareness of vast array of forms of animal life which normally goes unseen. In the very beginning, animals were studied in relation to medicine, agriculture and horticulture. As the primitive man advances and ascended the steps of civilization, the importance of animals has been recognized more and more. The study of animals has contributed immensely for the very existence of human population on this planet.

            Nevertheless to say that there is ample opportunities for students, to frame his career with Zoology as the subject. So we study Zoology for academic as well as Vocational scopes.
