Genesis of Zoological society of Assam

With the ideals and importance of conservation and preservation of wildlife in India, a laudable effort was made by a group of budding Zoologists of the eastern part of the country including teachers and students from different educational institutions to form a Society. After a long and thoughtful deliberation this group of wildlife lovers the Zoological Society of Assam was born in 1983 at Gauhati University. The Society was duly registered and a formal constitution was drawn up. The first Annual Conference of the Society was held in March 1985 at the auditorium of GU under the chair of Dr K.N. Sarma. In 1985-86, a series of popular talks were held in different schools and colleges of Assam. (excerpt from Presidential address by Prof. B.K.Deka).
