The department began its journey in 1961 when Physiology was introduced as a general course subject. From the very beginning the faculties of the department have been involved in active research and till date 14 students have been conferred Ph.D. degrees by the universities of Calcutta and Jadavpur.
Over the years the Department has developed a modest infrastructure for research in the fields of animal cell culture, microbiology, nutrition and public health and sports physiology through the endeavours of highly motivated, research oriented faculties.
The vision of the department is to produce of young graduates who are not only sound in concepts, holistic in their approach towards problems, courageous to raise and address relevant questions in logical and scientific ways but are also technically skilled to do so.
We sincerely believe that the various extracurricular activities proposed would spark interests of students and stimulate them to take up careers in science. The outreach programmes would play a significant role in imbibing social responsibilities among students.
