Our Good old Patna University, Centre for Environment and Nature Conservation has been selected as one of the 11 nodal training institutes in India under the human resources development programme by German Technical Cooperation. Only two centres, including IIT, Kharagpur, have been selected in the eastern region.

This centre is located in the zoology department of PU; the centre has been doing a commendable work in the field of environmental conservation.

Edusat network: NAAC-accredited Patna Women's College, which has already been accorded with the status of "College with potential for excellence" by UGC, added yet another feather to its cap by commissioning a satellite interactive terminal (SIT) on its campus.
