Zoological Society is one of the oldest and not-for-profit professional societies at Tribhuvan University, and was set up with the initiative of late Prof. Dr. Shiva Shankar Singh who was the first Head of the Central Department of Zoology (CDZ). Prof. Singh registered Zoological Society of Nepal (ZSN) in 1983, almost after 18 years of establishment of Central Department of Zoology and became the founding president of ZSN. The society became active up to 1995 with the efficient leadership of late Prof. Dr. Yugal Krishna Malla, former head of CDZ, and late Dr. Pralad Yonzon as its second and third president, respectively.
