About Program

The study of Botany is vital as plants are a fundamental part of life on Earth. The curriculum for the B.Sc. Botany Programme has been designed with an aim of encouraging the broad instructional goals and to support the growing demands and challenging trends in the educational scenario. It targets at providing an environment that encourages, promotes and stimulates the intellectual, professional and personal development of the student. The curriculum caters to the all-round development of the student, preparing globally ready individuals into the fast pacing world. The Department has sufficient infrastructure and expert faculty in different fields of Plant Sciences. A three-year bachelor’s degree program in Botany provides the foundation for prospective botanists to pursue a graduate level education or find an entry-level career.

Vision

The department is committed in higher education and application-oriented basic research in the field of plant science.
To perceive and disseminate the importance of plants in sustaining the earth and to understand the diversity, development , and functioning in order to conserve and coexist with nature.
To bestow the students with a basic applied understanding of the subject through innovative teaching and research, and to outreach on the arrays and processes of life.

Mission

To strengthen quality education and research, through advanced infrastructural and technological facilities.
To provide an academic environment for the benefit of students and faculty to elucidate ways for sustainable development under changing climatic conditions.
To promote and foster collaborative research for enhanced critical thinking and developing new ideas.
To expand academic co-operative by offering new courses and upgrading programs to a wider spectrum of students and researchers.

PSOs

PSO1: Critical evaluation of ideas and arguments by collecting relevant information about the plants, so as to recognize their position in the classification systems and at phylogenetic level.
PSO2: Students will be able to access the primary literature, identify relevant works for a particular topic, and evaluate the scientific content of these works.
PSO3: Students will be able to compare and contrast the characteristics of the different groups of plants such as algae, fungi, bryophytes, pteridophytes, gymnosperms and angiosperms.
PSO4: Students will be able to use the evidence of comparative biology to explain how the theory of evolution offers the only scientific explanation for the unity and diversity of life on earth.
PSO5: Students will be able to explain how Plants function at gene, genome, cellular and tissue level.
PSO6: Students will be will be able to relate the physical features of the environment to the structure of populations, communities, and ecosystems.
PSO7: Students will be able to conceive the idea of artificial propagation of plants via vegetative methods and to find a livelihood via establishing miniature plant nurseries.
