AIMS & OBJECTIVES

The chief mission of our department is to enrich society with knowledge of plant science. We try to inculcate the students with both theoretical and practical knowledge so that they become true nature lovers and can identify, utilize, and conserve plant diversity, with special emphasis given on the NortEast region which is regarded as one of the 'Hot Spot' in biodiversity of the world. Sustaining Indian Traditional Knowledge of Plants is also one of our motives and we try to implant the same in our student's minds.

DEPARTMENTAL ACTIVITIES

All the faculty members are trying their best to inculcate knowledge in the minds of the students through regular classes, and field study in and outside the state to make them understand the facts about the plants in in-situ conditions. They are also taken on local trips to some modern scientific laboratories of research institutes to gather knowledge of advanced and sophisticated instruments and their uses. The department organizes popular talks, workshop/training programs, invited lectures, etc on plant science from time to time. We also encourage our students to participate in extra-curricular activities organized in the college or outside the college as well.
