19. What are the essential facilities the department needs during XIth Plan
(Please give justification).
(a) Glass house for growing plants indoor. 1000 sqft. (50’x20’) : Rs.25.0 lakhs.
Glass house (green house) is highly essential for growth and maintenance of plants under ambient control conditions. In School of Life Sciences, many experiments have been conducted on rice plant in pot conditions as evidenced in the list of publications. The pots are placed under open field conditions and environmental fluctuations impedes the growth of the plants very often. The crop is subjected to occasional onslaught of adverse climatic conditions, leading to complete failure of the experiments. Besides, standard conditions of growth is necessary for many other plants cultivated in pots for the M Sc, M Phil students and research scholars. The green house facility will preclude the hazards of the unpredictable weather of the semi-tropical climate existing in this area
