Profile
This Department had a humble beginning, from the very inception of the College in 1946, as part of the Natural Science Department. It offered an Intermediate course initially. In the year 1951-52 a two-year B.Sc. Botany course was introduced. The staff strength was one Professor, one Lecturer and one Demonstrator. During 1957-58, a 3-year B.Sc. Degree course in Botany with Zoology as ancillary subject was offered.

In 1971-72 the Natural Science Department was bifurcated to full fledged Botany and Zoology Departments.
