Department of Botany in Moyna College started its glorious journey from 1998, with the subjected being introduced as a General Course. With the success all-round the corners and achievement by student, it was subsequently taken up as an Honours Course from 2017.

To generate knowledge and produce researchers, leaders and graduates in various fields in plant sciences, microbial sciences, ecology, evolution, biosystematics and biotechnology capable of providing solutions to industrial, health, agricultural and environmental challenges. We focus on the patterns and processes that enable predictive understanding of plants and their environments at local, regional, and global scales.

The Botany department organized one annual botany excursion with the 2nd year and 4th Semester Honours students every year as a part of their course curriculum to several Eco geographical zone.
