Department Profile
Department of Botany, Nalbari College, Nalbari- 781335, Assam
About the Department:
Realizing the importance of science education in post – independence India, the science stream was introduced in Nalbari College in 1958. As plant science is one of the basic sciences, the subject of Botany was introduced into the science stream in 1962. The major course in the subject was introduced in 1986. From the day of its existence, the department has been actively engaged in the growth of the college and contributed consistently to the academic and socioeconomic status in the lower Brahmaputra valley. The department endeavors high standards in academic performance and social responsibility from its early days. The Department provides a vibrant environment for scientific learning, research, and development in the areas having socioeconomic importance. The arrangement of regular training programs in vermicomposting and mushroom cultivation by the department paved new doors for the students and unemployed youth to become self-reliant economically. Similarly, the age-old department of the college builds the required infrastructure for providing skill development courses like Biofertilizer technology, Nursery and gardening, mushroom cultivation technology, and herbal technology for undergraduate students. The department has built an ecosystem of academic excellence, which is reflected in the consistency of good results among the students and the engagement of the departmental alumni in higher studies. The Alumni of the department have successfully established themselves in the professional world in academics as well as in various government and corporate sectors.
