Department of Botany

The Department of Botany of Nabinchandra College has been contributing to undergraduate education with a strong emphasis on quality teaching and academic development. The Science stream (non-sanctioned) was introduced in 2006, and the Department of Botany was formally established in 2011 with a Pass Course to impart fundamental knowledge of plant sciences and to foster scientific temper among students.

With the implementation of the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), the department adopted the revised curriculum from 2018 to 2025, ensuring outcome-based teaching–learning practices in line with contemporary educational standards. In accordance with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the department introduced the Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUG) from the academic session 2023–2024, promoting multidisciplinary learning, skill development, curricular flexibility, and holistic student growth.

The department is supported by four permanent faculty members dedicated to academic excellence and student mentoring. Teaching extends beyond classroom instruction and includes continuous academic guidance to support students' learning and career development.

The Department of Botany regularly organizes and participates in academic and co-curricular activities such as seminars, workshops, guest lectures, field studies, educational tours, and awareness programmes. Faculty members actively engage in research, publications, and professional development activities. Students also participate in inter-institutional academic events and have received recognition for their achievements. Overall, the department maintains a healthy academic environment that promotes holistic learning and intellectual growth.
