4 Preamble
While presenting this new syllabus to the teachers and students of Semester I and Semester II (F.Y.B.Sc.) Zoology, I am extremely happy to state that for the first time efforts have been made to seek inputs of all the stake holders to make it more relevant. In the first meeting of the Board of Studies an apex committee was formed to study syllabi worldwide with a view to include modern modules and plan semesters at UG and PG programs in advance to avoid overlapping and duplication of topics in various courses. Meeting with the industry at the Indian Merchants' Chamber and with the meritorious alumni helped adding need based components. For the first time students were a part of the syllabus committee and the process became participative when the draft was finalized in an open meeting with all the Zoology teachers after having sought democratic criticism on the proposed syllabus placed on the University website for about one month. While following the guidelines of UGC, use of animals is excluded from the practicals, substituting the same with audiovisual, ICT and simulation aids and that the syllabus is made more interesting with new, innovative topics. Providing the pedagogy as also indicating objectives and desired outcome of every topic for the teachers, and question bank for the students apart from the question paper pattern became an integral part of the syllabus, therefore. Care is taken to provide the drafts from time to time and declare the final syllabus well in advance enabling the teachers to make preparations before commencement of the academic year and facilitating students to execute their right to know the details before admissions. The success of this revamped syllabus will depend totally on the enthusiasm of the teachers which is very high all throughout the process and their hands will be strengthened by publishing the University text books for the first time. This curriculum of the Zoologists, for the Zoologists and by the Zoologists developed with the united efforts will take our ever progressive subject to greater heights in the years to come. - VINAYAK DALVIE, Chairman, BOS in Zoology

Syllabus First year B.Sc. course is the entry point for the students to undergraduate classes which acts like a guiding force for them to make up their mind in selecting a subject they would wish to pursue their studies in future for carving their career in a particular field. The syllabus committee in the subject of Zoology for F.Y.B.Sc. Class has designed this syllabus with a view that it is most appropriate time when we transform our traditional closed classroom teaching learning practices to more of field and activity based studies, the correct methodology for the study of Natural Sciences. It is recommended to orient the students about ecosystem, biodiversity, wildlife conservation and management with the help of models, photographs, movies, documentaries, charts and use of ICT and then take learners to field to have realistic experiences. This will enable them to get true insight about endurance of animal life in relation to human activity inducing sentiment of love, care and protection in the young mind and heart leading to understand importance of co-existence and conservation of bio-diversity. An interaction with the officials of wildlife protection force should be allowed to get basic knowledge about the relevant acts through lectures which for creating awareness about these issues and also to make best use of the knowledge in their own interest as well as for the country. Instrumentation and Animal Biotechnology component would initiate academia- industry interface and should be edified in collaboration with expertise from relevant research institutes and industrial establishments and entrepreneurs by inviting them as guest speakers or through industrial visits, excursions for practical experience about the principle, working and application of the instruments for commercial use. Population ecology need to be explained in the context with census to enlighten pupils about the effect of diversity and dynamism of human population on socio economic status of India. Experts from the field of nutrition and health can be invited to enlighten learners on the topics of nutritional value of food, balanced diet, ill-effects of eating junk food and aerated drinks. Medical professionals, relevant NGO’s maybe engaged to educate students regarding myth, precautionary measures, immunization drives of common diseases, ill-effects of self-medication and stress, significance of BMI through series of programmes. During medical emergencies it is of immense importance to provide first aid assistance to the diseased within the golden period i.e. of few minutes. This enhances the possibility to save life, thus it is strongly recommended to form a consortium of colleges to conduct training in rotation of first aid techniques for teachers and students both with the help of organizations like Red Cross Society, Health Department of Civic Bodies, Civil Defence Department and Local Self Government etc. Dr. Anil S.
