I simply love it ,
I do had enjoyed a lot to be at at this “Heritage Department”😎
The period of Prof. Athar H. Siddiqui as Chairman witnessed the dawn of a new era of modern biology. Prof. M.S. Jairajpuri, who was also appointed as Director, Zoological Survey of India and founder Vice-Chancellor, Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU), Hyderabad was a renowned academician and founder Coordinator and Director of Institute of Agriculture, AMU and he was also the Chairman of the Department. Prof. Mumtaz A. Khan, Prof. M.M. Agarwal, Prof. A.K. Jafri, Prof. Jameel Ahmad Khan and Prof. Durdana S. Jairajpuri carried out their tasks with great aplomb and success. Their efforts brought the Department on extremely sound footing. The contribution made by Prof. M. Hayat, Prof. Asif A. Khan and Prof. Absar M. Khan provided a new infrastructural fillip to the Department during their tenures as Chairman. Prof. Irfan Ahmad, Prof. Iqbal Parwez and Prof. Wasim Ahmad added their noteworthy efforts in infrastructure and remodelling of courses.

Its schools of specialization in Entomology, Genetics, Ichthyology & Fisheries, Nematology and Parasitology have attained new heights and acquired international recognition.
Presently, the Department is under the dynamic leadership of Prof. Mohammad Afzal and with his creative guidance, the Department is attaining new heights in terms of teaching and infrastructural development in modern/applied research.
