Botany has been an inseparable part of human beings and is highly associated with our day-to-day life. Education in Botany not only facilitates the students to get familiar with the principles of Life Science, Health Science, Agriculture, and Environment but also develops a foundation for higher education. Students can not only pursue post-graduate courses in all branches of life sciences, but makes them eligible to join up for various courses like MBA, MBA (Biotechnology), State/ Central Forest Services, Research, self-employment such as Green-House Management, Nurseries, Plant Tissue Culture Laboratories etc.
The Department of Botany was established in June 1968. The department primarily runs the undergraduate courses in Botany with the support of a single permanent staff, four grantable temporary faculty members (all Ph. D.) and two non – teaching members (1 lab assistant and 1 lab attendant). The faculties are highly qualified with diverse research interests, and are devoted to their subject giving encouraging environment to all the students.
The objective of the Department of Botany has been to bestow quality education to students. The atmosphere of the department is always student-centric and healthy. The department is committed to upskill the students through multifarious curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities throughout the year. The department intends to recognize the potential of every student and develop his/her abilities and accordingly enhance their technical and critical thinking skills necessary for success in the field. The Botany department has been approved to conduct a skill enhancement course (SEC) in Sustainable Agriculture. The department conduct Short Term Course in Cultivation and Conservation of Medicinal Plants which help to inculcate knowledge about medicinal plants their role and conservation. The department has well equipped laboratory with LCD, rich in study materials like books, well-maintained collection and display of botanical specimens, charts, permanent slides, binocular light microscope, digital calorimeter, microtome machine, laminar air flow, dissecting and compound microscopes, etc.
The Department of Botany organizes field visits, study tours, undertake case studies and projects on syllabus related topics. The department has established Medicinal Plants Information Centre with display of several medicinal plants along with detailed information. The Department of Botany has developed a botanical garden in the premises that enhances the beauty of the college campus. The plants are well labelled with their botanical and common names (in Marathi).

Short Term Course
Short Term Courses:
Plant Sciences deals with the study of plants by gaining knowledge of plant morphology, biogeography, classification, anatomy, physiology, and plant pathology.
Plant Science prepares students to ensure use natural resources and conservation practices to produce food, fuel, fibre, and pharmaceutical crops, while maintaining the health of the natural environment. Plant science offer relevant knowledge on sustainable agriculture, field crop systems, seed biology, pest management, crop management, water management, plant breeding and genetics, seed science etc.
Objectives:
- To develop methods of conservation of medicinal plants through multiplication.
- To identify the medicinal plant resources of the surrounding region.
- To acquire skills in seed science and technology to develop self-employability and job opportunities in seed industry.
- To study basic morphology which helps in the identification of plant species, use of flora and classification systems.
- To ensure the identification of medicinal herbs and their applications in various formulations.
- To document the region flora as repository in the form of herbarium.
