To cater the human resources for the affluent people of this heartland region of Ganjam district and to drive the galvanic talents of budding youths many magnanimous leaders and elite mass incepted this prominent higher education institution named “ Science College” Hinjilicut in the year 1963 with intermediate science (Pre-University) class initially. This long cherished institution fostered the talented, but poverty striken deprived students in great way to reinforce their hopes and vision to win over the all facts of life. Their necessity encouraged the management of this institution and all the departments to ensure good shape, teaching and interaction with the jubilant students, youths and finely oriented people of the region. This persistent efforts and endeavours of the management and teachers was so tremendously synchronised that the institution grew in healthy no. of students, class room facilities, teaching aids, teachers no. Well defined results in academic and extracurricular activities. Subsequent attempts and necessary communications to the concerned authorities consequently resulted in opening under graduate (UG) on 1965-66 with 16 no. of pass seats in our subject, Zoology.
This department reached another milestone of academic dignity by opening honours seats (16) on 1977-78. The interested staff and students collected specimens of all possible phylum, classes from available sources and place them properly identified. Till date our students cooperate in reinforcement of the laboratory richness. Our pass out Hons. Students contribute their books to the department after they are placed in respective jobs. Also the tradition of contributing books by the teachers continues to harness the seminar activity. At par with our beloved institution our department executed with immense ecstasy when this college was declared as an “Autonomous” college in the year 2014-15. Our department whole heartedly contribute all its resources for augmented teaching aids, teaching facilities, practical work interaction with the students field activities etc. To justify the status of a premier college of South Odisha. Our department has developed the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) curriculum during year 2015-16.The choice based credit system has been introduced to provide greater choice and flexibility & to prepare the students to compete with national and international level. The mission of our department is to impart quality education, promoting of innovation thinking, creating work culture among students.
