The progress of green chemistry in the synthesis of nanoparticles with use of plants has engrossed a great attention nowadays due to its inexpensive, simple, non-toxic and environmental-friendly nature. The present study has been undertaken to prepare Azadirachtaindicagum stabilized ZnO nanoparticles with multifunctional properties. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM and UV-Vis absorption studies.  It was clear from XRD pattern that nanoparticles were crystallized in hexagonal wurtzite structure. The average size of the nanoparticles was found to be 30-60nm. The synthesized nanoparticles exhibited potent antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus.
