The Agricultural Botany has outstanding contribution at its credit during Green Revolution. Crop iimprovement is a pivotal role and it transformed self-sufficiency. There are four different disciplines covered i.e. Genetics and Plant Breeding, Plant Physiology, Agriculture Biotechnology and Seed Technology which have their respective teaching, research and extension activities. During 2019, we started working on plant tissue culture with well equipped Plant Biotechnology Laboratory. The section has been strengthened for quality teaching and advance research ventures to meet the challenges in Agriculture Development.
