Visit to TiNai Eco Film Festival held at Dr.K.N. Modi University Newai on 18 March 2016

The title tiNai refers to an Indian ecophilosophy which integrates the nature, the culture and the sacred, similar to the Greek concept, oikos, meaning “household” or “family.” This is the basis of ecology. tiNai, a South Indian concept, categorizes the landscapes into five, all of which are named after native flowers. These divisions of landscapes—montane (known as kurinji), pastoral (mullai), riverine (marutam), littoral (neytal) and desertic (palai)—are dependent on the natural and cultural aspects of the land and people. The convention was the basis of poetry and the social order of the people, even centuries ago. This year this festival was held at Dr. K.N. Modi University on 18-19 March 2016. The festival was held in Northern India (Rajasthan) for the first time.The students of BSc, BSc (H) and MSc visited the festival. The films screened in the festival:

Visit to Kewalramani Hatcheries in Ajmer on 2 Feb 2015

On 2nd Feb. 2015, our department visited Kewalramani Hatcheries in Ajmer, Rajasthan.  Kewalramani hatcheries deals with the business of producing and selling day old layer and broiler chicks and also fresh table eggs since the past thirty years. They have the capacity to supply 3 million table eggs a month.

Students were shown movable incubators where the fertilised eggs are kept and the incubators where the eggs hatch.  Incubator has the capacity of holding 30,000 eggs, which are continuously turning at an angle and eggs are kept straight in such a way that their broad end is towards lower side and narrow end at the upper side.

Overall it was a great experience to see this kind of setup in India. We thanked Kewalramani sir for the visit.

Educational trip of UG and PG students to Bharatpur National Park

On 19 January 2016, the students of the IIS University (B.Sc., B.Sc. (Hons) and M.Sc.) visited the Keoladeo National Park, Bharatpur and enriched their knowledge about avifaunal diversity. They were mesmerized to observe so many birds at the same place. The zeal to learn motivated them to identify the faunal diversity. Nearly 90 species of birds and 10 species of other fauna were identified by them. The visit to the park was an enlightening effort to make them learn in the lap of Mother Nature. They not only identified the different fauna of the park, but they were able to visualize different ecological and behavioural interactions. The examples of parental care, family, nest-building, kinship behavior etc which they read in books were evident in front of the young minds. The whole experience for them was very refreshing and unforgettable. The trip was an effort to promote awareness about wildlife and its effective management. Young minds were rejuvenated with the importance of wetlands, migratory birds, forest conservation, community interactions etc. that will surely ensure in betterment of wildlife and their protection in future.

Intearctive session on Research opportunities at UG and PG level by Prof. M.C. Arunan

Dr. Arunan is a scientist in Homi Bhava Centre for Science Education, TIFR Mumbai. His working interests are biological plasticities: biological basis of Learning and memory; Regeneration Studies, and developing Simple Model Systems for Teaching-Learning in Neurosciences and Collaborative Undergraduate Biology Research through College-Research Center Networking. He had an interactive session with undergraduate and post graduate students of the department on 19th October 2015, and promoted the research quotient among the young minds. His elaborate interaction was immensely helpful and insightful, for the graduate and post graduate students.
