Increase in human population, Habitat Shrinkage, Droughts and over exploitation of Wildlife resources have necessitated to identify research initiatives in various disciplines of wildlife for sustainable management, propagation and conservation of wildlife resources. Following research initiatives have been identified for private sector:
- Captive Breeding Parameters for local people
- Hatchery Husbandry for General Public
- Population dynamics of endangered wildlife species
- Short term, midterm and long term management plans
- PRAs for local communities (Participatory Rural Appraisal)
- Disease diagnosis and medication
- Vaccination and passive immunity
- Animal behaviour with special focus on peripheral males
- Food preference
- Effects of seasonal changes on Wildlife
- Climograph
- Limnological parameters
- Siltation and Eutrophication
- Biological control of dengue
