Departments Objectives
The overall Goal of the Department of Botany is to facilitate plant and
agricultural biosciences research and activities that contribute to human
wellbeing, in India and internationally.
Specific Objectives of the Plant and Agricultural Biosciences Centre are to:

Job Opportunities
Among the careers available to a person who enjoys the outdoors are
positions as an ecologist, taxonomist, conservationist, forester, or plant
explorer. Your work may take you to foreign and exotic lands. It may allow you
to live and work in the great outdoors. A person with a mathematical
background might find biophysics, developmental botany, genetics, modeling,
or systems ecology to be exciting fields. Someone with interestin chemistry
might become a plant physiologist, plant biochemist, molecularbiologist, or
chemo-taxonomist. Many people do not realize that most of the basic
biological processes are the same in both plants and animals. Plants, however,
are easier to grow and manipulate.
Many other careers for botanists do not involve teaching or research. Some
botanists work in marketing or administration of plant-related industries such
as pharmaceutical companies, seed companies, biotechnology firms, scientific
publishers and biological supply houses. Other plant biologists work in
museums, herbaria, and botanical gardens
The major employers of plant biologists are educational institutions, federal
and state agencies, and industries. Job opportunities usually depend upon
educational training and experience. New positions in botany are expected to
increase at an above-average rate through the turn of the century. Growing
world population continues to increase the need for better food supplies.
Environmental concerns, such as air, water and soil pollution, will create
openings for ecologists in government and industry. The search for new drugs
and medicines and useful genes for improving crop plants will continue to
create a need for botanical explorers.
Educational institutions, which employ most plant biologists, range from high
schools and colleges to universities. High schools and colleges have few
openings for those who wish to teach specialized courses and there is little
time or equipment for research activity. Nevertheless, for botanists who
primarily enjoy teaching, such positions are very satisfying.
Most positions for professional plant scientists are in colleges and universities.
Almost all colleges and universities offer courses in plant science and there
are faculty positions for botanists who have different specialties. In addition,
educational institutions employ botanists as researchers and as
administrators.
Federal and state agencies need botanists in many different fields. Plant
