It has five functional departments separately for forest, soil conservation, research, wildlife and plant resourcesand a number of corporations. The ministry has recently set up a National NTFP and Jadibuti Development Committee under the chairmanship of the Minister with members representing all the majorstakeholders which will set policies, coordinate research and development activities and carry out, and bring various partners together for achieving the goal of sustainable use of medicinal and NTFP resources. The secretariat of the committee is located in the Departmentof Plant Resources of the MFSC with which MAPPA plans to work in future. IDRC CRDI The InternationalDevelopment Research Centre (IDRC) is a public corporation established by the Parliament of Canada in 1970. The Centre was created to help communities in the developing world find practical solutions to the social, economic, and environmental problems they face. Support is directed toward broadening local knowledge and capacity to enable communitiesto build healthier, more equitable, and more prosper societies. IDRC supports innovations within South —creative, effective, long-term solutions to development problems that work in local conditions. In doing so, IDRC also strengthens the overall capability of research institutions to generatepolicies and technologies that can help create more equitable societies. The Governmentof Canada finances IDRC; its policies are however set by an international Board of Governors. The Centre's headquarter is located in Ottawa, Canada. There are six regional offices located in Africa, Asia and Latin America. MAPPA The Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Program in Asia (MAPPA) is a program of strategic research, networkingand collaboration to comprehensively address critical research issues related to the sustainable and equitable use of medicinal and aromatic plants in Asia. Through collaboration and partnerships, and based within a regional approach to these issues, MAPPA is involved in formulating and implementing a holistic program which will complement and build on other related research and development activities in South Asia. The general objective of MAPPA is to enhance the sustainable and equitable use of medicinal and aromatic plant resourcesin Asia. Initially, MAPPA is focusing its research and developmentefforts in South Asia region only. This will be achieved by supporting strategic research, building partnershipsamong the key stakeholders including donors, and enhancing regional and international networking.

  • Meconopsis in Arunachal Pradesh 2012 by David & Margaret Thorne
    Meconopsis in Arunachal Pradesh 2012 By David & Margaret Thorne Up to the end of 2011, we had visited the Sino-Himalayan region 12 times. In 2002 and 2006, we were in Sichuan and Yunnan on AGS trips led by John Mitchell. These are excellent places to see Meconopsis species in the wild and China has a good road network and many good hotels. We subsequently decided that, while we were still fit enough to do so, we should concentrate on the more challenging destinations which involved trekking and camping. We have been twice to Himachal Pradesh (2007 & 2011), once to Nepal (2001), three times to Tibet (2005, 2009, 2010), and four times to Bhutan (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011). During the four years prior to 2012, we had worked our way across Bhutan, trekking in the far west (Ha), the Chomolhari area twice and Central Bhutan. For several years we have been seeking permission to visit the Me La in the north-east of the country, found by Ludlow and the Sherriffs to be very rich in plants and on the way to which Betty Sherriff found her ‘Dream Poppy’. It now seems unlikely that this permission will be granted soon, as there is an agreement in place with India, which has a military presence in the country by mutual agreement with the Bhutanese Government, that this area close to the Tibetan border will remain restricted. So we decided that the next best place to visit was the area immediately east of Bhutan – near Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh, India. Our trek was centred on Dirang and we drove north-eastwards from there as far as we could before camping and then started walking northwards the following day towards the Poshing La (4110 masl) and Gori Chen (6488 masl) beyond.

  • Third State Finance Commission
    CHAPTER 5 STATUS OF DECENTRALISED GOVERNANCE A. Brief Historical Overview 5.1 Modern local government in India has a rather long history extending to the earliest years of British rule under the East India Company, when a municipal body was established in Madras in 1688 followed soon thereafter by Bombay and Calcutta. These earliest corporations neither had any legislative backing, having been set up on the instructions of the Directors of the East India Company with the consent of the Crown, nor were they representative bodies as they consisted entirely of nominated members from among the non-native population. They were set up mainly to provide sanitation in the Presidency towns, but they did not prove to be very effective in this task. Act X of 1842 was the first formal measure for the establishment of municipal bodies. Though applicable only to the Bengal Presidency it remained inoperative there. Town Committees under it were, however, set up in the two hill stations of Mussoorie and Nainital in 1842 and 1845 respectively, on the request of European residents. Uttarakhand thus has the distinction of having some of the earliest municipalities established in the country, outside the Presidency towns. Their record too was not very encouraging. When the Government of India passed Act XXVI in 1850 the municipal bodies of Mussoorie and Nainital were reconstituted under it. 5.2 The motivation for establishing municipal bodies in the initial years was not any commitment to local government on the part of the British. Rather it was inspired by the desire to raise money from the local population for provision of civic services.

Received: 17 December 2019; Accepted: 21 January 2020; Published: 24 January 2020 Abstract: This is an extensive review on epiphytic plants that have been used traditionally as medicines. It provides information on 185 epiphytes and their traditional medicinal uses, regions where Indigenous people use the plants, parts of the plants used as medicines and their preparation, and their reported phytochemical properties and pharmacological properties aligned with their traditional uses. These epiphytic medicinal plants are able to produce a range of secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, and a total of 842 phytochemicals have been identified to date. As many as 71 epiphytic medicinal plants were studied for their biological activities, showing promising pharmacological activities, including as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer agents. There are several species that were not investigated for their activities and are worthy of exploration.

  • Conservation and Cultivation Possibilities of Dioscorea Deltoidea (A Threatened Species) in Village Budogi, District Tehri Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India
    CONSERVATION AND CULTIVATION POSSIBILITIES OF DIOSCOREA DELTOIDEA (A THREATENED SPECIES) IN VILLAGE BUDOGI, DISTRICT TEHRI GARHWAL, UTTARAKHAND, INDIA L.R. Dangwal, Amit Singh and Amandeep Singh Herbarium and Plant Systematic Laboratory, Department of Botany, H.N.B. Garhwal University (A Central University), S.R.T. Campus, Badshahi Thaul, Tehri Garhwal, Uttarakhand Email:[email protected] Abstract: The district Tehri Garhwal, Uttarakhand have a rich and diverse form of vegetation with medicinal as well as aromatic plants. Varying soil, geology and occurrence of different climatic and microclimatic zones of the region provide suitable conditions to grow a different diversity of medicinal and aromatic plants. But some medicinal plants are becoming threatened due to unsustainable use and overexploitation, out of these medicinal plants a very important threatened medicinal plant is Dioscorea deltoidea in the region. The present study deals with conservation and cultivation possibilities of Dioscorea deltoidea from an altitudinal range 1300m to 2000m, domesticated in the village Budogi, district Tehri Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India. The preliminary data showed that in the region D. deltiodea plant properly grow and can provide baseline information of selection of suitable cultivation sites, conservation and developing agro-techniques for this species. Keywords: Medicinal Plant, Cultivation, Conservation, Threatened INTRODUCTION antimicrobial (Shui, Leong., 2002), hypoglycimic and stomachic activities (Maga, 1978).
