Project summary/abstract.
The need of Indian herbals (medicinal plants) having highest value in worldwide and in the medical field which are supportive for research and cure of several unknown diseases. But they are not easily available and can be found in forests and mountains, farmers and agriculturists arte not cultivating them in their lands. To disseminate and demonstrate the method of cultivation of these medicinal plants which can also provide additional income to agricultural women laborers ,small farmers and dry landholders and will lead to formation of medicinal plants’(Herbal Garden), this project is suggested for environmental bidoological diversioty and protection with the participation and involvement of agricultural women labourers, small farmers and dryland holders. Major, unintended changes are occurring in the atmosphere, in soils, waters, plants and animals due to major usage of chemical fertilizers and pesticides for cultivation and irrigation in lands. Hence organic farming and sustainable agriculture should be established in the project area. It is most essential to grow more trees and plants in the project area with highest possible percentage so that human, animal, birds and reptiles could live supportively each other. Totally agro –forestry system should be established in the project area which could pave way for good food production and provide better living condition to the people. More over equilibrium and ecological balance of the earth could be maintained. Hence, I request your goodself to support us by contribution or donation or project for this project
Objectives of the Project
