Department of Entomology

With the inception of Agriculture Department in the Annamalai University a small but compact unit of Entomology came into existence as part of the Department of Agriculture mainly to cater to the instructional needs of B.Sc. (Ag.,) degree. Notably persons like Dr. N. P. Kalyanam, who later became Professor of Zoology in Pachaiyappa’s College, Madras, nurtured the unit with dedication. The Section of Entomology in 1959 was staffed with young teachers like Mr. Chidambaranathan, and Dr.M.Balasubramanian whose dedication to the subject was an inspiration to students of Agriculture. Their efforts had the constant backing, reviewing and guiding by no less a person than Dr. G. Rangaswami whose academic services to the Faculty, as Dean remain to be cherished for ever.
