-: INTRODUCTION :-
Field Visit is an integral part of botany. We gain alot of knowledge throught our theory courses so its
equally important to learn something practically as well. Field Visits and excursion makes it easier for the
students to connect with the environment more effectively. The environment i.e our surrounding where
we all interact, the plants in their natural habitat is one of the most interesting thing that we can study.
Classroom study and field Visit are complementary to each other. Neither of the one can be ignored. So
keeping this in my the botany department of SFS College, Nagpur conducted a field Visit in the premises
of SFS college, Nagpur given as per the syllabus by the rtmnu. SFS college in itself is an excellent location
for the study of botanical plants as there are variety of plants and trees planted in the premises of our
college. Also studying plants in their natural habitat enhances our knowledge that we learn from
classroom discussions as well as laboratory experiments.
