Medicinal Plants
We establish a medicinal plant garden at college premises which provide the knowledge of medicinal value for exact identification of the species specified for particular disease.
Our college has a cross-section of students where students from both urban and rural backgrounds are enrolled. Medicinal Plants is an apt item for generating awareness and consciousness to both the stake holders. Medicinal Plants in this college generate an awareness where the students get acquainted with the identity and usages of the medicinal plants which they come across within their own locality. The list of these plants along with their scientific name and usages are displayed in a catalogue in front of this garden. The college has a well stacked collection of medicinal plants kept and maintained in a decorated plot of land. A list of the medicinal herbs which have been planted so far is given below.
