ZOO.com Magazine

Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Centenary College's zoology department first published their wall magazine ZOO.com in 2010. First time it was published by Wrick Charaborty and Professor Dr. Partha Pratim Biswas. At that time it was only consist of zoological articles, for that reason it was stopped after publishing 2-3 issues. In 2012, Tanmoy Bhaduri first time breaks the structure of the magazine and published Teachers' Day issue of ZOO.com, this issue consists of several creative writings of zoology students'. Then Tanmoy had given the editorial batton to his classmate Sabarna Saraswati. Sabarna had done great job in publishing ZOO.com Pujo Sankhya 2012.[2] After facing a great success, Team ZOO.com had decided to publish Swamiji's 151st Birthday & Golden Jubilee of College Celebration Issue. On 5 January 2013 they published ZOO.com : Swamiji's 151st Birth Anniversary & Golden Jubilee of Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Centenary College Issue[3] in presence of Professors & Vice-Principal, but on the same day ZOO.com had faced a censorship. The college officials asked the issue editor to remove more than three articles from that issue and they compelled to remove those at night because college authority claimed there were a shade of delhi rape case and one article was "anti establishment" which may hurt dignitaries in Golden Jubilee Celebration. On the next day Team ZOO.com determined to remove all pages of ZOO.com and many columnists quit from the magazine. This incident created an apathy among the readers and writers of ZOO.com.
