About the Botanical Garden
The Gopikabai Sitaram Gawande Mahavidyalaya is established to provide knowledge & educational facilities to the students of rural areas. Since the establishment of the college our staff is dedicated to motivate the people of this area to increase their agricultural knowledge and social upliftments.
Our college has a special botanical garden for senior college students & a special horticulture department under vocational courses. It provides special techniques and Knowledge to the students for employment and self-employment. It plays a very important role in academic and socio-economic progress. The college Botanical Garden was established according to the needs of students’ academics, environmental studies and society from June 1990. Since 1990 we have been continuously planting phytogeographic, endemic, medicinal and rare plants. So today we have a collection of plants in our garden.
Other than this we are propagating various seedlings and distributing them in various schools, colleges, social and Govt. organization for social forestry. To achieve the aims and objectives of the botanical garden we are conducting an environmental awareness programme, tree plantation, plant relies and delivered lectures for rural society. The Botanic garden was systematically planned in the presence of principal & Botany staff. Botanical garden present behind the college guest house.
