Message of the H.O.D. limited to ten lines about the Department

The Department of Environmental Sciences in Sambalpur University was approved

by the University Grants Commission during seventh plan period and was established in

1989 as the only Post Graduate Department of its kind in the state of Orissa and one of

the few in the country. The Department started M.Phil. Programme from the academic

session 1990-1991 and M.Sc. programme from the session 1994-95. At present the

student intake is ten at M.Sc. level and six at M.Phil. level. In addition to this eight seats

at M.Sc. and three seats at M.Phil. are filled up as self-financing seats. The Department is

now highly acclaimed for a M.Tech. programme in Environmental Science and

Engineering which runs on self-financing basis from the session 2007-08. Besides these,

the Department is offering two P.G. Diploma courses of one year duration, namely, P.G.

Diploma in Environmental Education and Management (PGDEEM) and P.G. Diploma in

Industrial Safety and Health (PGDISH) through Distance Education mode. Based on its

academic excellence, the Department is granted academic autonomy from the session

2006-2007.
