 Looking around the modern building of the Botany Department, one may not realize that the history of the department stretches back over three quarters of a century. Established in 1924, it is the oldest seat of learning in the country. Originally, it was housed in the premises of Government College, Lahore, and M.Sc. teaching was conducted in collaboration with the staff of the College. The department moved to the Quaid-e-Azam campus in 1963 and was housed in various buildings until its present building was constructed in 1973. In the past 27 years, the department has developed a very elaborate program of teaching and research for M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees. The department has now initiated, regular courses leading to M. Phil/Ph.D. degrees. |
