UNIVERSITY OF CHITTAGONG
BACKGROUND
The Department of Botany was established in 1973 under the leadership of Late
Professor Dr. M.A. Aziz Khan who became the Vice-Chancellor of Chittagong University in
1981.
The Department started academic function with the admission of fourteen students to
first year B.Sc. Hons. Course in 1973. The Postgraduate course was first offered in 1975
with the admission of only two students, who passed B.Sc. Hons. examination from
Chittagong College, affiliated to Dhaka University; while M.Sc. (Preliminary) courses
have been introduced with the admission of 15 students in 1987. At present 100
students are admitted to B.Sc. (Hons.) course having four years duration in each. Now
the total number of students including M.S., M.Phil, and Ph.D courses is 400. The
department has been updated with the introduction of research facilities in different
DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY UNIVERSITY OF CHITTAGONG
aspects of plant sciences and courses taught are Plant Diversity, Virology, Microbiology,
Mycology, Phycology, Origin and Evolution, Bryophytes, Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms,
Palaeobotany, Plant Anatomy, Embryology, Palynology, Plant Taxonomy, Plant Ecology,
Plant Physiology, Plant Biochemistry & Biophysics, Cytology, Cytogenetics, Genetics,
Limnology, Plant Pathology, Plant Tissue Culture, Economic Botany, Ethnobotany,
Phytogeography & Conservation, Forest Pathology, Soil & Industrial Microbiology,
Environmental Management, Plant Breeding, Plant Stress Physiology, Plant Nutrition,
Molecular Biology, Genetic Engineering, Biotechnology, Agronomy, Horticulture, Hill
Cultivation, Soil Science, Computer Science, Phytopharmacology, Bioinformatics,
Biophysical Chemistry etc.
Over the last 39 years, about 1400 students earned M.Sc. So far 14 M.Phil. and 11 Ph.D.
degree have been awarded from this department. At present 30 research students are
engaged in higher researches leading to M. Phil. and Ph.D. degrees in this department.
Nineteen teachers having high academic background are now engaged in teaching and
guiding research students. Of them nine are Professors, four Associate Professors, five
Assistant Professors, and one Lecturer.
The department offers M.S.course, is a one-year degree programme and has been
divided into three major branches; a. Plant Diversity and Environment, b. Biotechnology
and c. Agro-biotechnology. Each group consisting of four relevant courses.
The department offers M.Phil. and Ph.D. courses which are mainly based on research;
theoritical papers are also includded for promoting current research techniques.
The department has been updated with the introduction of research facilities such as
Herbarium, Tissue Culture Laboratory, Garden-based experimental plots, Orchidarium,
Conservatory Shade-House, Breeding Center, Memory Garden, Medicinal plant blocks,
Natural Arboretum, Installing Analytical Instruments.
The department has been able to almost reduce the academic session problems. There
are some bridge programmes between the department and the foreign agencies for
carrying advanced research programmes. A good number of research projects supported
by national and international organizations have been successfully completed under the
guidance of teachers of this department.
Around 550 research papers have been published in national and international
journals so far by the teachers of this department. In addition, some research and text
books written by some of the teachers have been published by national and international
publishers. Many teachers and students have presented their research findings in
national and international seminars, conferences and symposia. Two websites
Medicinal Plants database of Bangladesh – www.mpbd.info and Bangladesh
ethnobotany Online Database- www.ebbd.info have been published from the
Ethnobotany Laboratory of the department by Dr. Shaikh Bokhtear Uddin. A Dictionary
of Plant Names of Bangladesh, containing Scientific, Common, Vernacular and English
DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY UNIVERSITY OF CHITTAGONG
names of almost all the Vascular Plants of Bangladesh has published jointly by Prof. Dr.
Mostafa Kamal Pasha and Dr. Shaikh Bokhtear Uddin.
An ideal Botanical Garden has been established to the southern part of the University
Campus over an area of about 60 acres of undulated land for the conservation of both
indigenous and exotic plant species of academic and aesthetic interests. More than
12,000 plants of about 450 species under 160 families of both indigenous and exotic
species of timber, fruits, medicinal, spices, beverages, latex, orchids, etc., have been
collected and conserved in different blocks. The garden is divided into 15 blocks which
are earmarked with their characteristic plants. Two breeding nurseries have been
developed where hybridization experiments are conducted for crop improvement
programmes. About 70 indigenous orchid species and good number of rare, and
aesthetic shade-plants have been conserved in the Orchidarium and Conservatory
Shade-House respectively. The Botanical Garden and road side plantation of the campus
is run under the supervision of a Professor-in-Charge who has been assisted by a Field
Supervisor and 13 field staffs.

AWARD FOR ACHIEVEMENTS:
The great achievement of this department is to award consecutively two times
“PRIME MINISTERS’ NATIONAL AWARD FOR TREE
PLANTATIONS” in 2009 and 2010.
Other Academic Activities
As an integral part of the courses, the undergraduate and post-graduate students
of this department go out on field trips and botanical expedition periodically.
Tree plantation programme in every year is a unique feature of this department.
Students of this department have made a tradition in participating tree plantation
programme within the campus as a part of their practical as well as field-oriented
training in every session. In addition, road side plantation, campus beautification
and with plantation of aesthetic plants has been also a part of the departmental
programme.
