The plants grown are useful in the practical classes of Pharmacognosy and Herbal Drug Technology. This well-developed medicinal plant garden provides a strong impetus for herbal drug research and to impart training to the graduate students. The Institute is maintaining a Medicinal garden within the campus with more than 50 species of important medicinal and aromatic plants. The garden is attached with the Pharmacy Building and its main purpose is to carry out experimental work, serves an important tool for teaching and research, to preserve and promote the medicinal values of the plants in our surrounding and whose properties are beneficial in maintaining a balance between man and nature. Pharmacy Students of Diploma, Degree and Post-graduation courses use the medicinal garden to collect the herbs for their routine practical work as well as for their research work during their project to prepare extract and isolate the important phytoconstituents with therapeutic importance. The collection of plants is also useful to prepare herbarium specimens by undergraduate students.
