HOD'S Message

It’s my privilege to pen down a few things about the Department of Botany of Teresian College. I marvel at the spectacular growth as I gaze into the records of the department. It has completed 57 years of academic excellence with the far-sighted and strenuous efforts of the faculty members in the departmental chronicles. From the inception of the department, it has nurtured and empowered the students to become responsible citizens of the Country. The department holds amalgamations of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities along with academics. The students enter the department with a low profile, but when they exit the College they spread the wings of confidence and competence to soar high and face any challenges of life. The students are the strength of our faculty members without them we are flaccid in nature. The bond that is built between students and the teachers are so strong. Let the magnetic power ripple in the department to grow into larger scales. I expect that the combined efforts taken by all the stakeholders will continue to fulfill our dreams to take the Department to still higher levels of excellence as was the vision of the predecessors.
