The Zoology Department of our college successfully organize excursions every year. As per Calcutta University old  syllabus this department arrange their educational trip to Indian Museum for students. There students can enrich their knowledge about animal diversity,  Zoological Fossils, Evolution of human being etc. under the guidance of departmental Professors. Regarding the university syllabus we also have to cover any visit among Fishery, Poultry farm, apiary, sericulture unit, biodiversity study and National Parks or Sanctuaries. In 2012 , a successful trip was arranged to Digha. Digha  museum & Digha Mohana gave us a lot of opportunity to study fish Biodiversity. We also made a visit to ‘ Contai Golden Hatchery’. The commercial well known product of this hatchery in the market is named as “Total Chicken”. Every year We make a trip to ‘State Poultry Farm, Tollygunj’ . Students visit the egg keeping house and egg rearing house and gather a practical experience about incubation and hatching of eggs which enrich their  practical knowledge. We also made a visit to the two snake gardens at Badu.We learned many unknown facts about snakes. Among our memorable fish farm visits, I would like to mention our  visit to “Suchandra fish farm” of Badu, CIFRI of Rahara,  and ‘Nuner Bheri, chingrighata. From these trips we gathered knowledge about Induced Breeding, fish food, pisciculture,  Preparation of pond & more. We also saw the fish capturing process there.  We also visited "West Bengal bee keeping association, Barasat". This apiary visit gave us a huge knowledge about bee keeping and importance of honey and other by products of bee keeping.  We feel very glad when we see that every year those successfull trips make our students joyful & enlightetened them with many unknown important facts of Zoology.
