Practical classes are being carried out as a part
of the students’ laboratory course-work in the
aforesaid laboratories. Additionally, separate tissue
culture room have been set up to carry out plant tissue
culture. Separate space for faculties, lecture theatre,
and seminar, have also been allotted in the department. |

The
library which is fully air-conditioned has at present
about 2400 titles and 8000 items in the existing collection.
All nationally published journals in science &
technology and international journals like Nature,
Science and Scientific American are subscribed as
hard copy. It is now fully digitalized, equipped with
the facility of barcoding of all items, on-line document
repository, integration of on-line journal access(INDEST),Z
39.50 services implementation, intra-networking and
multilingual support, integration and implementation
of LTSP with ILS system in order to provide reading
room services and digital library net content. |
