The department of Botany has received BOOST grant which has been successfully utilized to purchase sophisticated instruments like Florescence mi-croscope, Spectrophotometer, Gel Doc, PCR, Lyophilizer etc. to facilitate research environment in the college. Many of the faculty members have been registered as Research Guides to conduct PhD to students. Following are the glimpses of research laboratories in the college and list of re-search grants received in last five years and the PhD work being conducted by the faculty mem-bers of the college.
