Achievement/Findings:

From the list of avi-fauna it can be said that the total species composition available in the campus is encouraging for this small area. The bird populations in the area increasing because of the abundance of food, suitable cover and protection. None is allowed to hunt or trap any bird in the area and as result they remain totally undisturbed. If steps are taken for their proper management in other parts of the country, the bird population will surely increase
