ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
Department of Botany began its journey in 1948 with the I. Sc. Biology course, nurtured by the rich rural surroundings and vibrant plant diversity of the region. Under the pioneering guidance of Dr. Kamal Krishna Sarkar (M.Sc., D.Sc.) and later Mr. Tarun. K. Bose who also served as the Head of the Department, the department steadily grew in academic strength and reputation.
The department offered general courses since 1971 and was upgraded to Honours level in 1994. It adopted the CBCS Semester System in 2017-2018, followed by the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 from the 2020-2021 sessions. Through these reforms, the department emphasizes holistic learning, academic flexibility and skill-based education, preparing students for the evolving demands of the modern world.
