B. Sc in Botany

Home - B.Sc. in Botany

Botany is one of the most important subjects of life sciences. Plants have a unique position as a source of food, fuel, medicines and almost all over daily necessities. Their role in the environment is unquestionable. This makes plant science a very interesting study with innumerable scopes. The department has facilities of smart class, two laboratories, seed bank, herbaria, a botanical garden and Biodiversity Park with rare medicinal and economically important plants and a well equipped Plant Tissue Culture laboratory.
