A week-long Faculty Development Programme (FDP) titled 'Experimental Studies in Zoology under CBCS Curriculum' was inaugurated at MSCB University on May 11, 2023. The event organized by the Department of Zoology under IDP-OHEPEE was inaugurated by Vice Chancellor Professor Santosh Kumar Tripathy, who served as the Chief Guest, while Professor Pramod Kumar Satapathy, Chairman PG Council, presided over the inaugural function.
During his speech, Vice-Chancellor Professor Tripathy highlighted that many zoology laboratories across colleges have not been utilized due to lack of advanced training among teachers, and that several colleges lack laboratory infrastructure, which needs immediate attention. He also emphasized the need for a shift in attitude towards studying for the sake of acquiring knowledge rather than obtaining a certificate.
Professor Susmita Kar, Director of the College Development Council and a guest of honor, emphasized the importance of such programs in enhancing the intellectual development of teachers, likening it to the need for protein in the growth of children. Prof. Hrudaynath Thatoi, Co-ordinator of the Integrated Development Programme and Professor of Biotechnology Department, spoke about the success and effectiveness of the Integrated Development Programme in his speech.
Dr. Puspanjali Parida, Head of the Department of Zoology, welcomed the guests and provided an orientation of the programme. Dr. Gargi Mohanty, Assistant Professor of Zoology Department and Co-Coordinator of the Program, offered the vote of thanks. Vice-Chancellor Prof. Tripathy also unveiled the training manual of the programme during the event.
