In order to provide practical knowledge of plants and science to the students, Kanya Maha Vidyalaya (KMV) has developed a botanical garden in the college campus.

The garden creates a one of a kind and site-specific garden that stands beautiful through all the seasons of the year and also helps study the diversity in living organisms, especially plants. The students learn about the various types of plant varieties like medicinal plants, ornamental plants, herbs, shrubs etc. while enjoying the beauty of botanical garden. The garden also houses a beautiful lotus pond, where the students can gather information about the importance of lotus plants and the protozoans.

The botanical garden has a huge collection of succulent plants and herb garden. All plants are accurately labeled and the records are kept for the study of plant taxonomy.

Principal Prof Atima Sharma Dwivedi averred that KMV always aims for the holistic development of its students and this initiative is also one of the developments in that direction. She further maintained that the botanical garden will be beneficial for the students as plant’s growth habit, size and behaviour is important knowledge to make the right combination of species. — TNS
