“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all”- Aristotle Dear parents, students and well wishers, Greetings to you all from the Department of Botany, B K College For Women, Amalagiri. The students today face multifarious challenges during this pandemic situation. The pandemic has opened up new avenues and created new environments and new conditions for learning. Hence it is our duty to help them stay focused on learning with sound health, both mentally and physically. Over the years, the Department has provided the students with opportunities to explore and grow through situations that challenge them to identify their strength and reinforce them. I congratulate and thank the Management, Principal, faculty, students and parents for their strong sense of commitment, service and responsibility that has helped to transform this Department into a wonderful learning centre. Thank You Dr. Ambili P. Assistant Professor & HOD
