Welcome to Department of Botany
Chakdaha College


The Department of Botany was established in 1993 and it has emerged as one of the best learning centres not only in Chakdaha College but also in the University of Kalyani. In 2007, Honours course was started at the UG level.
The department is enriched by the presence of two full time faculties (newly appointed one is an alumnus of this department), one part time faculty and five guest faculties.
The departmental facilities include:
- Common and rare herbarium specimens.
- A departmental library containing books and periodicals.
- Instruments like Autoclave, Hot air oven, Centrifuge, pH meter, Colorimeter, Digital balance and Microscopes.
- Projectors for teaching and delivering presentations.
- An inoculation chamber for Microbiological work.
- A well maintained Polyhouse consisting of medicinal plants and spices.
The students of this department give oral presentations on a regular basis which help them in updating knowledge and skills. The department also organizes field trips or educational tours (both local and / or in different geographical locations) so that the students get acquainted with the nature more closely. In the years 2010, 2012, 2014, 2015 students from the department stood first class first in the University at the UG level and were awarded by UGC top rank holder scholarship. Every year most of the students get admission in M.Sc. not only in University of Kalyani but also in other Institutes as well.

Apart from teaching, the faculties are engaged in interdisciplinary research and have presented papers in several seminars, conference, symposium etc. The sustained efforts of the faculties both in quality teaching and research make this department unique among the colleges under University of Kalyani.
