Department of Life Sciences

The Centre for Life Sciences was started in July 2010, under the School of Natural Sciences and offers 5 year Integrated Course in Life Sciences having an intake capacity of 40 students. We are committed to the vision of the Central University of Jhakhand, i.e. “to create a world class facility in every aspect, be it research, teaching, administration or co-curricular activities to produce world class students ready to excel in any chosen field with honour and uprightness”. The future plans of this centre include extensive interdisciplinary research programmes by students and faculties in various areas of Biology. The centre’s main endeavour would be to achieve excellence in teaching and learning by research. The centre will promote collaborative activities at national and international level. The Centre for Life Sciences is committed to serving the academic community and public at large through its outreach initiatives like basic and translational research in the field of food security, sustainable environmental development and health care.

Mission

To develop open minded, sharp and cutting edge “Life Science Community,” with a strong basic foundation of science, technical skills and passion, who can serve the society/country for the betterment of humanity with their knowledge, moral values and entrepreneurship.
