Establishment of college:

Telangana Tribal Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society (TTWREIS) works under aegis of Tribal Welfare Department, Government of Telangana has been passionately working to place the poorest among the Scheduled Tribes in the prosperous orbit through quality education for the last 35 years.This society with 180 institutions ( from  1 st standard to Degree ) with more than 50000 students has been providing quality education in English medium upto graduation.

The Government of Telangana, strongly believes that education is the right medium by which the lives of the marginalized children can be transformed in social and economic spheres thereby producing a new generation of empowered individuals from the marginalized sections in Telangana,who can lead the country in the 21^st century.

The Government of Telangana has been giving major impetus to the educational empowerment of the marginalized students by launching Tribal Welfare Residential Degree Colleges.

As a part of this initiative, 22 Tribal Welfare Residential Degree Colleges are established in Telangana state by the Government of Telangana in 2017.

Establishment of the Department:

Department of Zoology was established in the year 2017 with B.Sc (B.Z.C) group. The Department has been progressing impressively with the available staff, students, and infrastructure. The Department comprises of well equipped labs and good internet facility for the usage of ICT tools. Zoology Department gives exposure to the students to teaching, research related careers and also gives guidance in the preparation of various competitive exams at the state as well as at the national level. The Department has a library with all the textbooks and reference books related to the courses offered.

Vision:

To excel in the academics, research ,imbibe scientific temper and contribute to sustainable development.

 Mission

To ignite and nurture young talents, increase passion towards Zoology ,to respect life in all its forms, to prosper economically ,socially and strive towards holistic development.
