About Us


The department of Botany was established in 1969.Initially, the aim was to impart higher education in innovative areas. Thus, M.Phil. programme was launched, followed two years later by M.Sc. programme for providing specialization in Taxonomy. Since 1998, marching with the requirements of time, the Department started M.Sc. Botany with specialization in Biotechnology. Recently, in the year 2000, the Department has introduced another innovative course of great future utility- M.Sc. Industrial Biotechnology. The department so far has produced over 160 Ph. D. and 240 M. Phil. students. Over 450 research and review articles have been published. The department has run U.G.C. teacher fellowship programme and U.G.C. leadership project for many years. It has also organized U.G.C. sponsored refresher courses for university and college teachers. The department has strong research oriented laboratories and has good facilities for conducting research in the areas of Reproduction biology, Tissue culture, Nitrogen fixation and Rhizobium physiology, Environmental pollution, Heavy metal toxicity, Cytogenetics, Stress physiology and Aero-biology. It bears the glory of internationally reputed teachers, a well developed Museum, and Herbarium & Botanical garden are points of attraction for people from different universities, institutes & departments. Very high percentage of its students qualifies UGC/CSIR sponsored NET, GATE & SET besides PCS/IFS/IAS exams each year.
