Strengths:
Weakness:
Opportunity:
Challenges:
Future plan:
| Young and enthusiastic staff, well established laboratories. |
Weakness:
| There is lack of interest among students regarding the subject due to little exposure and lack of awareness regarding the importance and application of subject. |
Opportunity:
| Research opportunity via VIVA Centre for Advanced Research & Development. |
Challenges:
| To maintain the interest of the student in the subject of BOTANY which seems to be fading out due to lack of awareness of subject & introduction of Applied subjects. |
Future plan:
| Botanical Garden |
| Medicinal garden |
| Water garden |
| Rock garden |
| Museum |
| Polyhouse |
