Brief Profile of the Dept.

HOD DESK

 It gives me an immense pleasure to introduce the Department of Botany of  Andhra Loyola College (Autonomous), which has completed 70 years of academic excellence with the far-sighted and commendable services rendered by the faculty members all through these years. With the constant support of the management, selfless service of the teaching and non-teaching staff and cooperation from the student community, the Department could emerge as a center of excellence in teaching, learning, research and extension activities. The Department started with  the Under Graduate course in 1954 and the Post Graduate course commenced in 1998. The Department has taken strenuous efforts in nurturing and empowering young men and women in achieving their academic goals and has rendered all support towards their social commitment. The academic, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities have helped immensely in moulding their character, enabling them to be committed and competent individuals in family and society. The qualified and experienced teachers are the backbone of the department providing inspiration and encouragement. I expect that the combined efforts taken by all the stakeholders will continue to fulfill our dreams to take the department to still higher levels of excellence as was the vision of the predecessors.
