Department of Botany
The records indicates that Department of Botany is established around 1950 with few students and few faculty members. The Department of Botany is committed to expand and absorb the wide diversity of scientific disciplines that have come to be associated with the study of plants. Our B.Sc. programme is multi-faceted and designed to empower graduate students with a holistic and comprehensive education across a wide range of subject areas, which would enable them to contribute effectively to basic and applied education and research in plant Sciences. The Department has taken conscious efforts to expand teaching program bringing together novel developments in the field with traditional areas of Botany through field excursions trips and projects. The students are coached and encouraged through remedial teaching and academic guidance. Our mission is to strive for an excellent environment for learning in plant sciences and produce graduates and equipped with skills necessary to fulfil their role in contemporary society. Our vision is to maintain our position as the premier department of higher learning in Botany as advance centre of plant sciences and to further commit ourselves to academic excellence.
