Social Involvement Programme

Since the last three years, the Botany Department Social Involvement Program (SIP) is taken up by a few students from FY and SY BSc. The work includes working in Blatter Herbarium and helping in making a soft copy of the herbarium library literature reprints with the help of a scanner, entering of the data from registers of herbarium into the computer database, stitching of plant specimens on herbarium sheets, cleaning and checking of herbarium books in the herbarium library. Cleaning, labelling and arranging the bottled specimens of algae, fungi, bryophytes, pteridophytes, gymnosperms and angiosperms in the botany storeroom, and making a list of all the permanent slides of specimens.
