Welcome to the Department of Environmental Science. Environmental science sits at the crossroads of multiple disciplines, including Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Economics, Management, Social Studies, Population Science, and Ethics bringing together analysis and action in pursuit of a common goal. I am honored to take on responsibility for this program, and I look forward to carrying out this task befittingly, educating the next generation of environmental scientists to the best of my ability.

Our department is well equipped with highly qualified faculty and standard scientific laboratories. Research and industrial linkages that address real-world environmental issues remain our prime focus. Our graduates and enrolled students go on to serve in various industries across the country, with several engaged in environmental consultancies. I am proud to share that our BS students are deeply involved in research and scientific projects, many of which have resulted in published work. To date, the department has completed 6 research projects; 2 international research projects are ongoing; has published scientific research articles; has won two RPA Awards; has completed one NRPU research project; and one of our scientists has been ranked among the top five environmentalists in the country. Our students have the opportunity to receive research-based scholarships, our BS and MS students have been awarded research and merit-based scholarships in previous year.

The Department of Environmental Science houses the “Environmental Protection Society” and the “Environmental Club”, providing platforms for students to participate in environmental- related activities. Many students get the opportunity to be part of these prestigious platforms, allowing them to enhance their professional learning and develop practical skills alongside their academic studies. I warmly welcome you to join this department with a shared mission: to save and serve nature.
