signifi cantly contributed in documenting the
fauna of Indian subcontinent which are part of
the NZC. This work mainly based on the avail-
able literature on freshwater Mollusca from
India, specimens present in the NZC of ZSI and
specimens received in Mollusca section of ZSI
from different parts of the country for identifi ca-
tion. The authors also have personally collected
and examined large number of specimens
through fi eld surveys conducted by the Mollusca
section of ZSI. ZSI cannot alone able to success-
fully conserve the national biodiversity with
limited strength. Therefore, universities, colleges,
schools and nongovernment organizations
require capacity building on further studies on
molluscan taxonomy, diversity and conservation
in India.
