INVITATION AND CALL FOR PAPERS

Environmental Pollution is one of the most challenging problems facing the international community; it has clear and known impacts on human health and natural ecosystems. Understanding and managing environmental relationships associated with economic development, population growth, ecology and human health requires inter-disciplinary interactions and co-operation among social, physical and life scientists. The international conference on environmental pollution, water conservation and health (ICEPWCH-2010) aims to bring together students, engineers, scientists and other professionals from different countries, involved in various aspects of environmental science to exchange and share their experience, new ideas, research results and latest developments in all aspects related to environmental pollution, water conservation and its impact on ecology and human health.
CENTENARY CELEBRATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY(1909-2009)
The Department of Zoology had its genesis in the year 1909 under Madras Presidency at Central College Campus, Bangalore. Later, it became the part of University of Mysore during 1937 and became the part of Newly established Bangalore University during 1964. The Department has had doyens of Zoology who have toiled in carrying the footprints since its inception. To mark the accomplishments, the Department has planned to conduct and organize several programmes such as Centenary lecture series, organizing National and International Seminars and Conferences, releasing centenary postal stamp etc., A special compendium including all the activities and a brief history of its journey of 100 years would be released during the conference.
