Dr. S.N. Pandey, Principal, B.R.D. College, formerly Sr. Reader, Botany Deptt., D.A-V. College, CSJM University, Kanpur, passed M.Sc. (1966) in first division with first position from Agra University and obtained Ph.D from Kanpur University. He has published over 70 research papers in reputed Indian and foreign research journals and has supervised several students leading to Ph.D. degree. While he has co-organised 3 national and 1 international conferences, he has also attended several international conferences including International Botanical Congress, Berlin; Millennium Wetland Event, 2000, Quebec; refresher course with Ducks Unlimited, Canada etc. Besides vast and variegated teaching experience both at UG and PG levels of over 40 years, he has to his credit a few well acclaimed books viz. Plant Physiology, TB of Botany (3 vols.), Advances in Botany (3 vols.), Essential Environmental Studies etc. His academic passion earned him visits to countries like Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy, USA, UK, Canada etc. He is the Chief Editor of Research Journal of Plant and Environment.
