Miffed with the ban on animal dissection, Delhi University has urged the UGC and Environment Ministry to reconsider the decision, saying it is reducing zoology into a “dead discipline”.
“We have written to UGC requesting it to reconsider the decision and limit the ban to just endangered animals. Zoology is being reduced into a ‘dead discipline’ because of the ban <g data-gr-id="12">where in</g> students are just reading theory and are unable to do any practical experiments,” Neeta Sehgal, Head of DU’s Zoology department has said in a letter.
In 2011, the University Grants Commission (UGC) had imposed a partial ban on animal dissection and directed all universities and colleges to stop experimentation on animals for training purposes for Zoology and life sciences at the undergraduate level.
