A comprehensive field appraisal on plant diversity within the N.C. Autonomous College campus, Jajpur, was conducted from 2022 to October 2024. This study aimed to capture the full scope of phytodiversity across the campus, documenting the various plant species and assessing their diversity and distribution. The study identified a total of 83 plant species, belonging to 79 genera and 43 families, representing the richness of flora across different life forms, including herbs, shrubs, trees and climbers.

The diversity analyses revealed a Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index (H') of 4.418, indicating high species diversity within the study area. The Simpson's Diversity Index (D) was calculated as 0.988, suggesting low dominance by any single species, which aligns with a highly diverse ecosystem. Furthermore, Pielou's Evenness Index (J') was 1.0, demonstrating an even distribution of species across the campus.
