About the Botanical Garden
The New Art’s, Commerce and Science College is established to provide knowledge & educational facilities to the students of rural and urban areas. Since opening of the college our staff is dedicated to motivate the people of this area to increase their agricultural knowledge and social upliftments.
Our college has a special botanical garden for senior college students & a special horticulture department under vocational courses. It provides special techniques and Knowledge to the students for employment and self employment. It plays a very important role in academic and socio-economical progress. The college Botanical Garden was established according to needs of students’ academicians, environmental studies and society from June 1982. Since, 1982 we are continuously planting phytogeographic, endemic, medicinal and rare plants. So today we have collection of number of plants in our garden.
Other than this we are propagating various seedlings and distributing them in various schools, colleges, social and Govt. organization for social forestry. For achieving the aims and objectives of botanical garden we are conducting environmental awareness programme, tree plantation, plant relies and delivered lectures for rural society. The Botanic garden was systematically planned in the presence of principal & Botany staff. Botanical garden present in front of main building. Various plant species are planned to increase aesthetic sense. It also increases beauty of college campus. Botanical garden has separate sectors for ornamental, Seasonal, Medicinal & Cactus plants. As well as for horticulture practices different sectors & borders are reserved.
Our future plan is to establish Cactus Polyhouse, sectors to grow rare, endemic, endangered threatened plants. As well as surrounding area of indoor stadium is reserved for ornamental and economically important plants.
