About UNIZOA

UNIZOA is a body registered under Travancore-Cochin literary, scientific and charitable societies Act 1955 (Act XII of 1955) with registration number T.315 / 09 (2009). The members of the association include people from all walks of life who are either old students or teachers of the Department of Zoology, University College, Thiruvananthapuram.

The association came into being in 2009 with the late Prof. S. Parameswara Iyer as the first president of the association. We owe our present to the glorious past of the Department of Zoology, University College. The department was established in 1931 under the leadership of the late Prof. S. Padmanabha Iyer.

From then onwards, it has been a centre of excellence in both research and learning. We wish to uphold this heritage through our varied academic and scientific activities.
