The department deals with natural sources for medicine includes plants, minerals, animals and marine sources. Currently the department handles the courses related to Pharmacognosy, which imparts the information about the source, chemistry and the therapeutic efficacy of the natural products to be used as medicine. It also gives hands on experience to the students for identification, isolation and analysis of chemical constituents from natural products. The Medicinal Garden at NCOPS is home to a diverse collection of well-maintained medicinal plants, supporting research and pharmacognostic studies. It serves as a peaceful retreat for visitors and a valuable educational resource for those studying and working on campus.
