About Department

Bhadrak Autonomous College, Bhadrak was established in 1948 but the Department of Zoology came into existence at a later stage in the year 1954 and started imparting teaching in Zoology at the Intermediate Science level. In the year 1960, the Bachelor level teaching in Zoology (Pass) was started. A new phase of life was ushered in with the opening of Honours Level Teaching in 1967. Postgraduate in Zoology and Microbiology was introduced in the year 2018 to widen the horizon of knowledge in the process of teaching and learning in one place. Presently the department can reasonably boast of an illustrious tradition of academic activities spread over for about 45 years producing several luminaries who earned fame and distinction throughout the state, country and abroad.
