Department of Physiology
About the department
The term physiology originated from a Greek root Physiologikos meaning discourse on natural knowledge. It was introduced by the French physician Jean Fernel in 1552. Physiology deals with the normal functioning of the body.
There are so many divisions in this branch of science and those are only to approach and understand the same problem from different standpoints. In spite of such endeavour, there are still many aspects of physiology which we fail to understand. It indicates more probably that our investigations are not adequate enough and that our methods of study are not perfect. In a nutshell, the whole purpose of physiology is to explore the normal functioning of the living organisms– their principles, mechanism and control.
The Course of Our Journey:
It was a period of 20 years which is taken to start the department of Physiology in this college. The journey was started in the year 1991-1992 as a general course. Starting from a very small structure (body), it has been enriched day to day. Now it has its own well–equipped laboratories, departmental library and one computer with internet facility. Ten years ago the department has got the full time teacher. Before that so many qualified persons had served and developed it time to time. We pay our sincere gratitude to their honest effort.
Financial Assistance:
The expenditure of the department is treasured by the college authority. Usually, instruments are purchased by the financial assistance of UGC, Govt. Of India, whatever and whenever it is found.
Management:
There is an institutional committee chaired by the Principal which reviews the academic matters including the admission process to well-being of actual or potential students. Except this, there is laboratory sub-committee specifically concerned with the laboratory related issues. Taking suggestions and assistance from those committees the teaching and non-teaching staffs usually conduct the departmental activities.

Departmental Activities
In this rural sector, our students have to overcome so many hurdles to be educated. In spite of those negative forces their performance is satisfactory. As per the university syllabus, the students conduct diet survey in the nearby locality each year.
They are motivated to publish wall magazine on a regular basis and they participated in the community based awareness programmes arranged by the NSS wing of the college. One International level invited talk was arranged by the department last year.
Placement Of Students:
Our students are settled in various professions. Most of them are teachers in schools. Some pupils are successful as laboratory technicians. Few students have got jobs in Govt. offices.
Facilities
The department of physiology had got two rooms for laboratory. The total area occupied is about 1000 sq. ft. One room is used for Biochemical experiments and another is specified for Histology, Experimental and Human experiments. About 150 sq. ft. area from one room is separated for office purpose. We have sufficient almirah and steel racks to keep the objects safely. Tables for experiments and official work are arranged properly. In spite of some deficiency, our working place is well-equipped and well arranged.
We have a small departmental library with text books & Journals. It is enriched by the books and journals from MRP fund. It needs more books in Bengali to meet the students demand.
