In the process of achieving the task, the Department realizes that only way to fulfill these targets is to build excellent human resources that will continue to enrich the academic standards and will address the various issues of crop physiological research. The Department emphasizes on developing the necessary conceptual and experimental skills in students and young researchers. While guarding the traditional approaches used in the studies related to crop growth and productivity, recent developments in various fields of plant physiology and molecular biology have been added to teaching and research curricula. Through teaching, scholarship, and service, the Department of Plant Physiology provides educational experiences that encourage students to learn, think and apply knowledge and practical experiences in the field of agriculture for crop improvement, sustenance of crop productivity in a stressful environment and to evolve climate resilient crop varieties. The curriculum foci range from local to global issues. We encourage and support participation of faculties and research scholars in national and international seminars and symposia as well as to communicate the research findings through publications and relevant outreach programs to enhance the quality of research and studies.

The Department of Plant Physiology aspires to provide its students with academic programs and experiential learning opportunities that will develop their understanding of crop physiology and its applicability in crop improvement. The Department has set itself the vision to work in different areas of plant science including physiogical basis of yield enhancement and its maneuvering through application of plant growth regulators and micronutrients, developing crops tolerant to abiotic stresses like drought, salinity, high temperature stress, metal toxicity and mitigation of stress, large scale soil less culture of plants and development of plant diagnostic manuals through soil less culture. In addition to strong disciplinary knowledge, we emphasize on interdisciplinary awareness among the students for development of collaborative approaches towards crop research. We also endeavor to integrate the department's mission of teaching with the pursuit of scholarship and service activities of the students to maintain the highest degree of professionalism in educating and mentoring our students as we prepare them for their future careers. In addition, we strive for a stimulating, inclusive, and healthy work environment where the rights of faculty, staff, and students are respected, where their contributions are fairly recognized.
