Dr. Punit Saraswat is a Associate Professor, Head of Zoology and Environmental Sciences in Lachuram Memorial College of Science and Technology, Jodhpur delivered a talk on fisheries. He had an interactive session with undergraduate and post graduate students of the department on 12th March 2016, and promoted the research and applied skill based among the young minds. His elaborate interaction was immensely helpful and insightful, for the graduate and post graduate students.
Prof. Sangeeta Chouhan, Head of Anatomy Department, SMS Medical College Hospital, Jaipur delivered a lecture on the histology and functions of kidney and liver on 27 February 2016 to the post graduate and undergraduate students of Zoology. Prof. Chauhan has 36 years of teaching experience and no. of books on histology to her credit. Her concepts about the human anatomy proved to be a great help for the students.
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.
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.
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.

Past few years have witnessed rise in reproductive health issues. The number of factors that pose challenges in reproductive health have increased by many fold. Thus to identify priority issues of reproductive health, available options of early diagnosis, treatment modalities and prevention strategies with emphasis on providing better reproductive health to all a National Conference on “Reproductive Health Challenges: Issues and Remedies (NCRHC-2015)” on 11-13 September ,2015 was organised by The IIS University in collaboration with Department of Zoology ,University of Rajasthan, Jaipur and Mahatma Gandhi University of Medical Sciences & Technology, Jaipur under the auspices of the Indian Society for the Study of Reproduction & Fertility(ISSRF) .The conference aimed to provide a forum for researchers ,policy makers, programme managers, service providers and NGOs in field of reproductive health.
Beside lamp lighting, formal welcome and address by Dr.N.K.Lohiya, President of ISRRF inaugural session had keynote address by Chief Guest Dr.V.M.Katoch, Former Secretary, Department of Health Research & Former Director General, Indian Council of Medical Research, New Delhi and Presidential address Padma Shri Dr.R.R. Chaudhuri ,Adviser ,Department of Health and Family Welfare ,Govt. of NCTD.
Inaugural session was followed by eight technical session spread over three days chaired by luminaries from the field of reproductive health.
There were series of planeary lectures by torch bearers in the field, such as:

On day second there was vibrant culture performance by the students of THE IIS University. Third day concluded with report presentation by Dr. Priyanka Mathur followed by award giving ceremony and vote of thanks.
The conference brought together the array of experts to deliberate on important issues, so as to create awareness in public to combat various reproductive health issues. Thus enriching deliberation proved to be a learning experience for all those participated in the conference.
Prof. Ravi Prakash, delivered a lecture on “Gene Regulation in Eukaryotes and Molecular Basis of Speciation “on 7 & 8 August 2015 in the Genepact Room. Post Graduate students and staff members attended the lecture. He explained basic concepts related to gene regulation and how the changes in molecular level leads to speciation
