About the Department :
Teaching at the department began in 2008 with temporary faculties in a rented hostel at Amarkantak, which subsequently moved to the newly established campus at Lalpur-Podki on 16th August 2011. The department offers a three-year under-graduate (UG) course designed to provide knowledge on the plant diversity (bacteria to angiosperm), cell biology, genetics, plant physiology, plant ecology, as well as advance knowledge in instrumentation skills, plant tissue culture techniques, and molecular biology. To cater the special need of predominantly tribal population residing around the university, the curricula includes papers on the safeguarding plant related traditional knowledge and development of entrepreneurship skills amongst tribes. Post-Graduate study and PhD programme in the department began from July 2013. Professor Awadhesh Kumar Shukla served as the first head of the department (2012- Oct 2015). Currently, Dr. Naveen Kumar Sharma chairs the department.
