The Department of Environmental Sciences was established in the year 2017 and is now running PG courses (M. Sc. EVS) and doctorate in Environmental Sciences. The academic program of the department has been periodically reviewed, revised, and updated, keeping in mind the need for sharper focusing, the available expertise at any given time, and the changes desired in the curriculum of individual courses or specific programs. The Department has diversified interest in the various latest field of environmental sciences viz.
