| Mr. Bimal Chandra Gogoi HOD, Botany |
The
Department of Botany, Namrup College is one of the well equipped department in
the college. It has been imparting the teaching on B. Sc major and core courses
in the subject Botany under the academic curriculum of Dibrugarh University.
Apart from B. Sc course, department is also running different certificate and
vocational courses like Certificate in Herbal Medicine, Certificate course in
Bio-technology and Vocational course on Tea-Plantation and Management. Two
minor research projects were undertaken and one mega research project is going
on.
However the Biology subject
was started since the year 1973 in the College. The Degree course in Biochemistry
was started in 1987 session as core course. The major course in Botany was opened
in the year 1993, just after getting "deficit grant-in-aid" by the science stream.
The Science stream of Namrup College was brought under the Deficit Grant-In–Aid
on 14th July of 1992.
There was a single laboratory
room for all practical classes for all science subjects in the present day chemistry
laboratory. The office room of the college at that time was converted into
Botany lab in 1987. Now it is running with little modifications. The college
office was shifted to another room.
Before my appointment the Botany practical was
taught by temporary teachers,
sometimes by the Zoology teacher Mrs. Dipalee
Dutta Bordoloi. From 1986 to 1990 Botany
department was run by single Teacher with a single Bearer. Present principal of
Namrup College, Dr. Jitu Buragohain was appointed as Lecturer in the department
of Botany in the year 1992. Initially there were three sanction posts of
teaching faculty. But at present only two faculty members are working in the
department and one post is still vacant. At present, there are two well
experienced Bearers in the department.
We feel
proud of being a faculty of this department of Namrup College.
