DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION
Botany deals with the study of Plant Kingdom and the application of Plant Science to develop modern technology. It is a fascinating science that studies structure, evolution, ecosystem, , bio-chemical processes and pathology of plants. This stream is responsible for the identification, classification and naming of Plant species.
The application of this field spreads to agriculture, biotechnology, medicine, pharmaceuticals, forestry, energy production and many more fields of present day relevance.
WHY BOTANY?
- To explore and identify new species of plants.
- To adopt the knowledge of plant science in conservation biology
- To optimise agriculture with sustainable techniques of plant biotechnology.
- To preserve, study and practice the ancient tenable knowledge of ethnobotany.
- To combat and minimize the effect of climate change through studies in stress biology of plants.
- To innovate techniques in plant genetics and molecular biology.
