Introduction
The Department of Botany aims at promoting an integral understanding for utilization of plants and to explore underlying mechanisms for promoting eco-friendly environment. Particular emphasis is laid on focusing the application of current advances in genomics, plant physiology, DNA recombinant technology, sequencing methods, plant tissue and cell culture, gene transformation, genetic engineering, applied botany, photo-medicines, GMOs and climate change impact assessment on flora of Azad Jammu & Kashmir. The Department strives at its best to boost the diverse applications of plants and their products and to tackle emerging issues of the rapidly growing population.
Its faculty is well equipped with academic and research capabilities to prepare national human resource in future perspective. Additionally, all our energies are directed at promoting conducive environment of learning and grooming talent through academic and co-curricular activities.. Purpose is to nurture well-trained visionary manpower to shoulder responsibilities in the future scenario of developed AJ&K.
