The Department of Botany maintains a botanical garden which consists of Wild, Medicinal and Ornamental Plants. The botanical garden caters to the needs of students for their practical work, the students collect plant twigs from the garden for their taxonomy practical.
Earlier the Scientific Names on the Name plates were displayed. But from June 2021 onwards QR codes were assigned to the plants in the campus as per directives received from O/o the Commissioner of the Collegiate Education, Hyderabad.
The QR (QR stands for quick response)codes are two dimensional barcodes. These QR codes are machine readable optical label that contains information about the tree/plant to which it is attached. The QR codes data about an item generally used for location, identification or track that points to a website or application. The QR code consists of black squares arranged in a square grid on a white back ground , which can be read by the camera of the mobile phone and processed using the software until the image of the QR code in the image can be accurately interpreted
The main objectives of taxonomical information for digitalization using new techniques of QR code are as follows:
1) To incorporate the plant species information to QR code such as a) Vernacular name of the plant b) Botanical name of the plant c) Family of the plant d) category of the plant type such as Herb/Shrub/Tree and e) number of such species present in the college.
2) To visualized the plant information through scanning the QR code
The main benefits of QR code assigning to the plants is that, any student or any interested person wants to know about the information of a plant . He or She is to scan the QR code attached to the plant with his or her mobile phone camera to get the information quickly and on the spot itself without going into library or to meet the subject expert for information search to know about the plant.

Botany - Best Practice
1. Title of the Practice:
Preparation of College Herbarium.
Enhancing research aptitude of students with student study projects.
2. Goal
To increase the research aptitude and team work by collecting the local flora.
3. The Context
Students of Life Science have the research ability and interest in application of Taxonomy. Students are motivated to take the project work and research to collect the flora from the local forest and near by villages. The project work was introduced as a part of the syllabus.
4. The Practice
As a part of curriculum project Preparation of College Herbarium was undertaken by the students and evaluated by the faculty. All the students are motivated to do project work. Students collect the plant specimens from the local forest, and identify them with the help of local floras. The plant twigs are poisoned with HgCl2 solution and pressed and dried. The dried specimens are pasted on Herbarium sheets and labelled.
5. Evidence of Success
Students collected more than 100 plant specimens of many medicinal value, timber yielding, gum producing and fruit species.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required
Students encountered problems in collecting the twigs with flowers from tall plants and climbers.
