About Department

Department of Botany is one of the oldest department of this College, established in 1989 and is well equipped and has specious laboratory with departmental Digital library facility in the form of QR Codes. Two Short term courses viz. Medicinal Plants and their utilization in college Campus and Certificate courses on Bonsai are conducted by the department. Faculty is actively involved in extracurricular activity such as short and long tours for Botanical excursion, field Visit to Organic farms etc. is regularly arranged by the department to maintain enthusiasm of Botany subject. Botany department also monitors campus beautification as well as establishment and development of shade net house. Department has cultivated a medicinal plant garden form produce awareness among the students and local society. Rose garden has been cultivated. Department of Botany also gives knowledge about nomenclature and their medicinal uses in digital format like QR codes in college campus.
Vision:
The Botany Department aspires to equip students with conceptual education and offer knowledge of experimental tools. The Department provides regular classrooms, Google classrooms, independent experiential learning in traditional fields of Plant Sciences. The Department functions to develop responsible learners and researchers. It aims to prepare students for undergraduate, post-graduate, and Ph.D. It emphasizes independent and collaborative research. The Department endeavours to promote active learners, acknowledging the diverse goals and backgrounds of students.
Mission:
To establish and maintain an environment for both students and faculty to explore the understanding of Plant Sciences. To employ knowledge-making and facilitate this knowledge among students for shaping the career and societal benefits. To inculcate thorough learning in Plant Sciences. To facilitate interdisciplinary opportunities for students and faculty through collaborative research.
Aim and Objective of the Department:
The Department of Botany search and offer a basic understanding of Plant Science and the scientific method. Establish collaboration between Botany and all academic disciplines. Encouraging Botany outreach to the local community. Learning about and practicing the safe and responsible application of plants in the different areas
