ENVIS
Centre on Environmental Biotechnology
in
The University of Kalyani, Nadia, is funded
by the Ministry of Environmental & Forest, Government of India
is meeting the task of disseminating information on various
Environment related subject area. But with the emergence of
the new field viz., 'Environmental Biotechnology' which plays
a paramount role in environmental management has not been
covered in the network. |
|
|
With
the emphasis on the management of natural
resources and abatement of pollution as well
as hazardous waste management, it is
therefore proposed to set up an ENVIS Centre
on ‘Environmental Biotechnology’. Major
emphasis of databank will focus on
‘Pollutant Biodegradation’ and its
allied aspect. This Centre also included in
SDNP
network. |
|
|
In
the year 1960, through the WB
legislative assembly the
University
of Kalyani
was
established as a leading centre of learning
of higher education. The university was
originally conceived for agricultural
studies and at later stage science,
commerce, social science, physical
education, humanities and engineering and
management were introduced for promoting
other academic pursuit. |
|
|
|
There
are 23 Departments offering M. Sc., M.Phil
and Ph.D. programs in regular basis. The
university is obtained accreditation from
National Assessment and Accreditation
Council (NAAC), in January 2001, the University of
Kalyani is an affiliating University with 36
affiliated degree colleges situated in two
districts of Nadia and Murshidabad of West
Bengal. The
science Depts. of the University are as
follows:
Environmental
Science, Biochemistry and Biophysics,
Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Botany,
Zoology, Computer science, Microbiology,
Biotechnology & Molecular Biology,
Instrumentation, Physiology and Statistics.

Department of Environmental Science
The
Department of Environmental Science was established in 1985.
The Department of Environmental Science was created from the
school since 1998. Initially the school functions as
research unit and then teaching was started since 1990-91,
academic session as ‘M.Phil in Ecology’. In 1998 July, the
Department of Environmental science started M.Sc programme.
At present the department offers PhD , M.Phil, M.Sc degree
in Environmental Science. The department has permanent
faculty members and several visiting faculty and seven
office staff. The major research area are basic and applied
ecology, pollution biology, environmental impact assessment,
microbiology, Bioinorganic and Environmental chemistry,
bioremediation, landscape ecology, geomorphology, remote
sensing, resource studies, atmospheric science,
environmental toxicology and immunology.
