A millions of insects are present on the earth but all are not pests. So we want to identify the insect pests and it is possible because of entomology .

The study of biology of insect pests gives quarantine entry of pests within & between the countries.

Identification of harmful and beneficial insects along with study of beneficial insects for commercial production is planned under this department.
