Botanical Garden
Biodiversity forms the very foundation of human existence, offering a wide range of natural resources that fulfil our ecological, economic, and cultural needs. Its conservation is crucial for maintaining the delicate balance of life on Earth. At Thakur Sen Negi Government College, Reckong Peo, we take pride in nurturing this ethos through our vibrant botanical garden, which serves as a living repository of diverse plant species and a center for ecological awareness and learning.
