About Botany Department
The Department of Botany was established as a general subject in 1966 to provide basic knowledge of plant sciences to undergraduate students. In response to increasing student interest, Botany as a special subject at the T.Y.B.Sc. level was introduced in the academic year 1984–85. With continued academic development and growing demand from students, the department started the Postgraduate programme (M.Sc. Botany) in 2019–20. Recognizing its academic and research contributions, Savitribai Phule Pune University approved the department as a Ph.D. research centre in 2007–08, providing opportunities for scholars to pursue advanced research in plant sciences. The department is committed to quality education, research, and the promotion of biodiversity conservation and environmental awareness.
