B.SC. Botany

B.Sc. in Botany is an undergraduate programme of six semesters which is completed in three years. The course is affiliated with University of Calicut with Chemistry and Zoology as complementary subjects. Botany is one of the broadest sciences as it includes the study of the ,variety of plants, their interaction with the environment, and complexity of processes occurring within them. Through this program, we provide key concepts of Biosciences, including those on essential molecules, genes, cells, genetic engineering, Plant biotechnology, Bioinformatics  Biostatistics, etc. Focus on topics like taxonomy, environmental biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, ethology , kingdom Plantae etc. This will help the students to learn to conserve and care for plant life  and environment they are living in. Field studies, visit to research stations. Hands own training in various techniques like horticulture, nursery managemet and nature camps are an integral part of imparting knowledge. Botany practicals  are a vital component of the core course. B.Sc. in Botany can pave the way for students to take up employment opportunities in the educational sector, pharmaceutical enterprises agriculture-related companies etc. They have scope in Indian Forest Service, plant biodiversity research, wildlife conservation, environment management, monitoring of ecosystems, various plant-based research institutions, etc. They can also opt for higher studies in Botany. Students with more than 55% in higher secondary level are eligible for this course. Because of the vast biodiversity of plants is available in our state study of botany program has immense scope for doing research.

Certificate Course in Fibre Extraction and Paper making 

Many of us are conscious of ways we can use resources sustainably, create things ourselves, and value the objects in our lives by making them with our own hands. But we don’t necessarily think of the paper we use on a daily basis and the huge amounts of energy and water consumed by commercial paper mills. When you make paper by hand with plant fibers from your own backyard, you’ll participate in a long-practiced art and connect with plants around you.

Certificate Course in Biofertilizers and Biopesticides Production  

India has witnessed massive output in the agriculture sector due to green revolution.The reason behind the awakening of Indian agriculture is due to the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and biopesticides which are available in moderately cheap rates.The excessive use of these chemicals is a great blow to sustainable agricultural growth.When nitrogen and phosphorous fertilizers are being used in large amounts eutrophication and conversion of water bodies into marshy land is the ultimate irradication of pollinators are some of the draw backs of green revolution.Under these circumstances biofertilizers and biopesticides offers great possibilities for efficient use of various resources for increasing agricultural output on a sustainable basis.

 Certificate Course in  Aquaponics  

Aquaponics is not only a forward looking food production technology, it also promotes scientific literacy and provides a very good tool for teaching the natural science.Aquaponics is a combination of aquaculture,which is growing fish and other aquatic animals and hydroponics which is growing plants without soil.Aquaponics uses these two in a symbiotic combination in which plants are fed with the aquatic animals discharge or waste.In  return, the plants clean the water that goes back to the fish.Along with the fish and their waste, microbes  play an important role to the nutrition of the plants.
