BIRBAL SAHANI

At Lucknow he organized the Department of Botany on the same lines as at Cambridge. He believed that the senior most teachers should teach the junior classes to a certain extent. This makes for better discipline and balanced and methodical tuition. So he always insisted on lecturing to the B.Sc. classes. He used to talk to the students about the latest developments in the field. He gave the post-graduate students ample liberty and scope to widen their knowledge. He wanted them to learn to think for them selves. He regularly examined their work and never minced words if criticism was called for. He used to make even the unwilling students work hard. His name attracted students from all parts of India and even from abroad.
