About the Department
The Department of Basic Sciences was established in May 2018. This department offers courses in Elementary Statistics & Computer Application, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Microbiology and Physiology to undergraduate students. Also department provides facility of computer laboratory where a batch of 35 students can be given practical exposure to the computer technology. It contributes in creating human resources in the different field of Horticulture as well as giving inputs/policies to strengthen farmer-scientist linkage through different research findings. The department is also involved in different extension activities such as organizing Workshops, seminars, training programmes and delivering talks/lectures.
