DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY
Year of Establishment: 2008
Affiliated to Ambedkar University the Department of Botany, Government Degree College, Veeraghattam Srikakulam offers B.Sc Botany with all required facilities to support teaching and research in plant science. Interactions with local community organizations related to conservation and sustainable agriculture provide even more opportunities for hands-on experience in plant science for our students. Our graduates have gone on to careers in teaching, research, ecosystem conservation, landscape design and architecture and even the manufacture of natural foods. The Department of Botany is exploring the possibility of credit accumulation to earn the degree at one’s own pace incorporating skill-based education under CBCS, realizing the need for accommodating the slow learners with the high achievements in the academic programs.
