  Classroom Teaching A good understanding of plants is critical to the future of human societies. Botany aims at scientifically studying the life of a plant. Method includes theoretical, practical as well as study of plants during excursions. Besides the above mentioned methods we encourage students for class debate and group discussions which eventually enhance their analytical, critical evaluation and communication skills. Considering the fact that students differ in their ability to apprehend, we facilitates learning by allowing each individual student to comprehend at their personal level.	--	--	--	--
