About Department
INTRODUCTION OF DEPARTMENT
The
Department of Botany was established in the year 1992. The work load was just
sufficient for one person. Dr.A.A. Kshirsagar was appointed on 27th
June 1994 as a Head and Assistant Professor in this department. In response to
the increased the workload, Dr.S.M.Pawar was appointed on 14th July1996.
The department started PG Course in the
year 15th July 2009. The appointment of Mrs. N.P.Patil on contributory basis for PG course.
It
is one of the leading departments of college to organize various students’
centric activities. The department
provides valuable knowledge to students from rural and tribal areas. The
faculty members are very co-operative and spread the knowledge of new
techniques of farming to the local and tribal peoples. Kannad is predominantly
consists of the variety of natural occurrence of plants in the surrounding
areas like Ellora hills, Gautala Sanctuary, Pitalkhora, Patanadevi, Satmala
hills etc.The student of our departments regularly visits to the Gautala
sanctuary for collection and observation of plants.
In the field of research the department
has succeeded in pulling major resources from funding agenesis like UGC. As a
result of this department successfully completed Minor Research Projects
(MRP) of Rs. 80,000 and 70,000 respectively funded
by UGC. In addition to that department have Botanical garden, skill based
certificate course, research centre, research guides and PG course. The
Department has collection of specimens, herbarium plants, preparation of woolen
models of mitosis, meiosis, DNA and RNA models etc.
AIM OF
THE DEPARTMENT
Ø To
achieve academic excellence in basic and applied aspects of plant sciences.
Ø To
impart basic and advanced education to students through teaching, learning,
research and evaluation.
Ø To
motivate the students to undertake projects in basic and applied thrust areas
of plant sciences.
Ø To
inculcate scientific awareness towards protecting diversity and
Eco-environmental management of plant resources for sustainable development.
Ø To
inspire the students towards better understanding and use of Computer oriented
learning resources.
Importance of the subject
SCOPE AND
IMPORTANCE
After completion of graduation, student can appear for various competitive examinations like Indian Forest Services, Indian Administrative Services conducted by U.P.S.C. He/she can also go for higher courses like M. Sc (Botany), M. Sc (Biotechnology), M.Sc. (Molecular Biology), and M. Sc (Genetics). Among the careers available to a person who enjoy their positions as an ecologist, taxonomist, conservationist, and forester. Person with mathematical background might find biophysics, genetics, and developmental biology to be exciting fields. Someone with an interest in chemistry might become a plant physiologist, plant biochemist, molecular biologist or chemo taxonomist. Student can also choose biotechnology, microbiology, mycology and Physiology. Student can also option for ornamental horticulture and landscape design. Student can obtain specialization in plant breeding, plant pathology, agronomy, and horticulture. Teaching botany is challenging and rewarding career. Some botanist work in marketing or administration of plant related industries such as pharmaceutical companies, seed companies, biotechnology firms, scientific publishers and biological supply houses. Other plant biologists work in museums, herbaria and botanical gardens. Some with additional training become scientific writers, computer programmers and botanical illustrators.
