Brochure
Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bengaluru in collaboration
with NBAIR, Bengaluru, UHS, Bagalkot and UAS, Bengaluru is organising a
National Meet of Entomologists on October 7 th and 8th, 2016. In addition to new
desciplines in Entomology, work on networking, collaborations and welfare of
Entomologists will be discussed. Existing societies of entomology will be roped in to
form a strong foundation for Entomology as science and for young upcoming
entomologists. Your active participation and generous contribution for the success of
the meet is highly solicited. Given below are the details for your information and
needful.
Prologue
Insects constitute the largest group of living organisms on the earth.
Besides, they are the most diverse and cosmopolitan creatures closely associated with
mankind both as friends and foes. Rightly, the subject of Entomology, in simple terms
insect science, has been evolving with changing times. Entomology encompasses
Agricultural Entomology, Medical Entomology, Veterinary Entomologyand Forensic
Entomology. Though being an important subject, for reasons not known, there has
been a conspicuous lacunae in the coordination, networking and synergy between
different groups of Entomologists in the country. This might be due to a lack of
suitable platform to facilitate the interaction and exchange of ideas among
entomologists in the country. Keeping this in view, in the recent past there have been
efforts to organize National level meets of Entomologists. The first of its kind was
held at the erstwhile Project Directorate of Biological Control (presently
NBAIR),Bengaluru in 2011, thanks to the initiative taken by Dr. N. K. Krishna
Kumar, an eminent entomologist of international repute. More than 500 entomologists
representing different fields of specializations from across the country attended the
meeting. This was followed by another gathering in February 2015 at ICAR-Indian
Institute of Natural Resins and Gums, Ranchi. In order to sustain the momentum and
the preparedness toface the emerging challenges in the field of Entomology, the
present National Meet of Entomologists-2016 is being organized.
