Department of Environmental Sciences
Growing concern of the University in the environmental issues in
various agro-climatic zones led to the establishment of this
Department in 1984. It runs highly sought after Master’s and Ph.D.
programmes in Environmental Science besides offering mandatory courses
in UG and PG curricula of the University. The major thrust areas of
research include environmental impact assessment, environmental
pollution, biodiversity, environmental stresses and bio-remediation
of agro-industrial waste. The instrumental facilities for
environmental monitoring of air, water & soil samples have been
developed.
