The Botany Department came into existence when B. Sc. (Pass) Course was introduced in the academic session 1967-68. Students availed the opportunities of studying honours in Botany from the session 1972-73. P. G. Course in Botany started to be taught from the session 1983-84. To initiate students into research fields, M. Phil. Course was also opened in the session 2017-18. In1983-84, the P.G. Course was designed according to the traditional systems, but since 2018-19, the syllabus was revised, and it has been following the CBCS method since then.

The alumni of this Department have so far achieved success in a wide range of fields, and have been successfully making their ways in different professional domains. They have contributed to the world around them in various capacities as professors, doctors, scientists, administrative officers, forest officers, police officers, and the list is not exhaustive.
