ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Today there is a need for the scientific community, teachers and
academicians in the life sciences to come together, think and work to
widen the scope of research in the thrust areas of zoology and make the
world a better place to live. The Department of zoology seeks to make its
contribution by hosting a National Conference. The conference is
committed to provide a forum for scientists, researchers and students
from the biological sciences to explore areas of science and research,
that will help us to meet and expand our commitment in solving real-life
conservation challenges for a better tomorrow. Leading researchers
from the scientific communities will discuss and work together to create
directions for future research, providing a ground work for developing
novel approaches in zoology for the betterment of mother earth.
ABOUT THE COLLEGE
ABOUT CHENNAI
Queen Mary's College was started in the year 1914. It was then known
as the Madras Women's College. QMC has the distinction of being the
first Government College for women in South India. The College offers
23 undergraduate, 18 postgraduate, 12 M.Phil and 10 Ph.D
programmes. Located on the scenic marina, the college has a beautiful
view of the sea. Its sprawling campus of 17.4 acres is virtually a green
paradise. A conference in this setting is sure to be a unique experience.
Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu is the fourth largest metropolis in
India popularly regarded as the "Gateway to the South". Chennai has a
pleasant weather in the month of January, with temperature in the range
of 22-27ºC and probably the best time to visit. Important places to visit in
Chennai are Marina Beach, Santhome Basilica, Sri Kapaleeswarar
Temple in Mylapore, Guindy National Park, Arignar Anna Zoological
park, Fort St. George, Government Museum Complex with its 18th
century buildings, Periyar Science and Technology, which will be of
interest to students and other science scholars. The city has several
Government and private emporia which sell handicrafts, leather goods,
Kancheepuram silk and hand-woven fabrics.
ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY
The Department was instituted in the year 1957 with an undergraduate
degree course. It was upgraded as a PG department in the academic
year 1993-94. The Department offers UG, PG, M.Phil. and Ph.D
programmes. The Department has 10 vibrant faculty members. The
faculty have undertaken several research projects funded by UGC and
TNSCST. The department has registered a steady growth, right from its
inception, strictly adhering to the goals of the Department - quality
teaching, motivation, research and personality development, to produce
learned women who will transform the society.
ABOUT ZOOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA
The Zoological Survey of India, the only taxonomic organisation in the
country involved in the study of all kinds of animals from Protozoa to
Mammalia, occurring in all possible habitats from deepest depth of the
st
oceans to the peaks of Himalayas, was established on 1 July 1916 to
promote survey, exploration and research leading to the advancement in
our knowledge of the various aspects of the exceptionally rich animal
life. During recent years, the scope and functions of Zoological Survey of
India have been considerably expanded, particularly in the light of the
Convention on Biological Diversity, ratified by Government of India in
1994 with special reference to Articles 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 17,18 and
41 of the Convention. Zoological Survey of India has sixteen regional
centres, other than the headquarters in Kolkata, located in different
places covering the different ecosystems namely deserts, high altitudes,
plains, estuaries, fresh water, forests and the seas.
