department

• The department wields knowledge farming through expert seminars, internal

seminar series, publication of Journals (FMU Journal of Management) and

Annual Newsletter (Aakankshya)

• Well employed alma matters of the department

Weakness of the Department

• Erosion of Diversity among the students

• Electricity problem and problem of uninterrupted internet service

• Balasore is 200 km away from the capital city Bhubaneswar, it is difficult to

coordinate academic events with resource persons from Bhubaneswar and other

distant locations

• With the opening up of new courses such as M.Com, M.Phil. in Commerce and

Management there is dearth of infrastructural facilities.

Opportunities

• Industrial expansion and expansion in the service sector offers ample

opportunities for the management students

• A greater emphasis on management graduates by the government and PSUs

have widened the opportunities for the department

• Industrial Houses in Balasore and North Odisha Chamber of Commerce and

Industry are continuously expanding themselves there by offering consultancy

50. Detail five major Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Challenges

(SWOC) of the Department.

Five Major Strength

• Infrastructure facilities in terms of adequate space for class rooms and laboratories.

• Well equipped laboratories along with separate computer lab with internet

connectivity.

• Good nos. of student strength both in M. Sc. & M.Phill. programmes which are the

working force to fulfill the societal needs.

• Highly qualified Faculty members from different disciplines of Science to meet the

interdisciplinary requirement of Environmental Science.

• Outside the Department building we have enough space for different field

experiments.

Weaknesses

• Frequent interruption in power supply.

• Inadequate supporting staff in the Department.

• Delay in filling the vacant teaching posts.

• Difficulty in maintenance of the equipments due to lacking of technical staffs.

• Since the New Campus is distant from the Balasore town we face difficulty in

obtaining the service of the local experts in the field.

Opportunities

• Our Department being the only one in the coastal region of the state imparting

Environmental Science course under regular mode, we have a great opportunity for

survey and taking appropriate measures for the conservation of coastal biodiversity

of the state, particularly the prospective bioresources.

• Since Mangrove forests act as natural guards against disasters like tsunami and

cyclone, we can take initiative for creation of Mangrove forests, particularly at

estuarine areas where these forests are not there or have been denuded due to

anthropogenic activities.

• Near our Department at New Campus of the University, there are two important

industries like Emami Paper Mills Pvt. Ltd. and Balasore Alloys at Balgopalpur. The

Department has a great opportunity for developing strategies for eco-friendly

disposal of wastes of not only these two industries but also of the wastes of other

Page 47: P.G. Department of Biosciences and Biotechnologyfmuniversity.nic.in/pdf/16. Evaluative Reports of the...Biotechnology and Bioscience” from the session 2014-15, which has been largely

FMU NAAC SSR 2015 – Evaluative Report of the Departments 224

industries present at and around Balasore town.

• Assessment and regular monitoring of water quality and air quality of industrial areas

at and around Balasore town for appraisal of the local people regarding the impact of

industrial activities on public health, if any in this area, is also an opportunity for us.

• By organizing workshops, training basic techniques on water, soil and air quality

parameters to students as well as interested persons from other disciplines which will

increase the workforce of our discipline.

Challenges

• Being only Department in the coastal region of the state the great challenge for us is

to produce more skilled manpower who can contribute for environmental protection.

• Artificial regeneration of Mangrove forests near the estuaries of Balasore district.

• Developing strategies for bioremediation of wastes of industries, especially those of

Emami Paper Mill Pvt. Ltd. and Balasore Alloys which are close to the New Campus

of the University.

• Opening of new job-oriented course like M. Tech. in Environmental Science along

with existing M. Sc. & M. Phill. Programmes.

• Developing a database regarding the biodiversity of this region after through survey.

51. Future plans of the Department.

• The Department has different future plans not only to improve the quality of

Environmental Education and awareness in the state, but it is also taking measures

to improve the state of environment in and around Balasore.

• The Department is planning to open a new programme i.e., M.Tech. in Env. Science

in near future.

• The Department is also planning to provide environmental consultancy services to

farmers for organic farming, vermi-composting, mushroom cultivation etc.

• Pertaining to is strategic location the Dept. is also planning to initiate mangrove

forest conservation and afforestation in wastelands programmes to protect fragile

environment of this region.

• In view of the growing industrialization of the state the Dept is committed to produce

skilled men power for the preparation of EIA reports, providing pollution control and

environmental management plans for the industries.

P.G. Department of Population Studies

Orissa has a sizable population of Scheduled Tribes, Scheduled Castes and

Other Backward Communities. The socio-economic and demographic scenario of the

state is in a transitional phase with high infant and child mortality, declining sex ratio,

reducing tribal population, increasing aged population, low status of women, increasing

geographical imbalances and frequent natural calamities. These interrelated problems

need to be comprehensively studied and acted upon through research and extension

activities. The Department of Population Studies stated functioning from the 2004-05

academic session on the objective of providing education and research facilities to the

students of the region with an adverse socio-economic and demographic background.

To begin with, a two-year (four-semester) Master Degree programme was introduced

with a student intake of sixteen. In the meantime, one-year (two-semester) M. Phil.

programme has been approved to begin from 2006-07 with an intake of four. Besides,

the Ph. D. programme has also come into force since March, 2006. Along with teaching

and research, the department has been taking up extension activities under the

programme of University-Society Interface for creation of awareness among the people

on various population and health problems in both rural and urban areas, especially

among the underprivileged.
