Botany

Vision:

To provide modern, skill oriented and quality education to the students with a focus on plants and their environments.

Mission:

• To know the importance and scope of Botany.
• To impart knowledge of science as the basic objective of education.
• To develop a scientific attitude to make students open minded, critical and curious.
• To expose themselves to the diversity amongst life forms.
• To make aware of natural resources and environment and the importance of conversing it.
• To develop the ability for the application of acquired knowledge in the fields of life so as to make our country self-reliant and self sufficient.
  

Department of Botany in SPACES Degree College came into existence in the year 1993. As Botany deals with the study of different processes going on in plants, the course in Botany encourages students to keep abreast of as many developments as possible in Plant Sciences. Studies in Classical Botany deal with plant behavior, morphology, physiology, embryology, ecology, genetics, systematic etc. and provide solutions to agricultural, horticultural and environmental problems, for crop improvement, organic farming and natural resource management. By the study of the fundamental details of plants, students can understand growth and development, reproduction, life cycle, medicinal values and economic importance of food resources. This course being an important component of Life Sciences offers immense opportunities in other related fields and applied disciplines such as Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Cell and Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, Genomics, Agro-forestry, Environmental Science and Management and many others. The knowledge of plant science can be used to solve environmental challenges. While studying Botany the students learn all these aspects of plants including its applications. Besides, the students will have greater opportunities open to them in higher studies and research along with better job prospects.

Botany is emerging as one of the potential areas for career and research. Aspirants having B.Sc. degree in Botany can find a lot of career opportunities in both public sector and private sector. They can join Botanical Survey of India (BSI), National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education (ICFRE) etc. as a Research Associate. Graduates of this subject can opt for post-graduation in Life-Science, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Toxicology, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Microbiology, etc. Applied Post-Graduate courses in Environmental Sciences, Agro Forestry, and Forensic Science can also be pursued.
