To enrich the Post Graduate studies, publication of Research Journal has long been a desideratum. The first step initiated by the Post Graduate departments of Sciences i.e. PG Department of Physics, PG Department of Chemistry and PG Department of Botany of this college intends to publish the integrated research journal: BIGYAN – An interdisciplinary Research Journal of Science. The institution geographically based on a remote part of West Midnapore District of West Bengal. Education ratio is very low. Hand to Mouth People convince their pupil to approach their local institution i.e., Sabang Sajanikanta Mahavidyalaya for having basic education. Hence this institution flourished its wings with the first-generation students. Government, Scholars, Intellectuals, Political Personage, Farmers and well-wishers of the locality extend their utmost support for the betterment of the Alma Mater. Being the Institutional Head, I have to make the placement of Incalescence supports received time to time from every corner. Higher Education Department of the West Bengal Government, Vidyasagar University time and again extend their academic support for higher studies, which are prevalent to this college. Though in this changing society, concept of orthodox nature of Research studies, an attempt has been made through the publication of Research Journal. Simultaneously faculty of Arts and Humanities also initiated to publish Research Journal besides the Department concern which are in que and will be published short while. The Research Journal BIGYAN is highlighted the paper of Academic Intellectuals which will justify the necessity of the Academic Scholars of the various sections of Sciences. The scope of the papers sufficiently explained in the Journal. I do humbly appreciate the Scholars who have presented their valuable original research paper papers in this double-blind peer reviewed journal. We have thoroughly checks plagiarism of each article in view of the representation of another author's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one's own original work. I do here by thankfully acknowledge to The Editor, Associate Editors, Members of the Editorial Board as well as all Hon’ble Distinguish Member of the Advisory Boards to make this Research Journal effective.

Peoples with low immunity are being mostly affected by the coronavirus. However, Plant- based foods increased the intestinal beneficial bacteria which are very much helpful to increase the immunity of people by 85%. Using various minerals like Zinc, Magnesium, selenium, etc vitamin C, D, and E rich foods, sufficient amount of water and healthy lifestyle one can easily boost immunity and can overcome various infections including COVID-19. This paper focused on the use of plant-based foods for enhancing the immunity of human being against COVID-19. Keywords: Covid-19, immunity booster foods, vitamins rich foods Functional foods and also vitamin rich foods can enhance the 1. Introduction immune system to assist drive away viruses [8, 9]. For example, Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) has protective role due to its immune The first new corona virus, COVID-19 (previously known as function, consequently it is important for the growth and renovate SARS-COV-2) was diagnosed on 31st December 2019, in Wuhan, of all body tissues [10]. Also, it is able to protect the infection of Hubei province, China and all the cases were linked to source lower respiratory tract under certain circumstances [11]. In addition, infection from a seafood wholesale market [1]. Living animals like to boost our immune system against COVID-19, Vitamin D and E snake, bird, marmot, bat, frog, and rabbit are regularly sold at the are effective supplements [12], as the decrease in cattle’s levels of Hunan seafood market [2]. Although the transitional source of Vitamins D and E could lead to infection by a bovine coronavirus origin and move
