Herbal Plantation

The herbal medicinal therapeutic method was not new to the village people nor they were unaware of it. But as one of the effective remedies it could not establish its so much efficacy for want of consistency in one hand and copious applications of alternative drug as faster and quickly gained treatment, through costs higher, on the other. It was not at all easy in the beginning to make believe the village people that cultivation of herbal medicinal plants can play a significant role in rural economy.
But our conscientious efforts through awareness campaign; mothers meeting and conducting village level herbal clinic could able to trounce the stumbling block initially delineated. The concept of setting up nurseries in the villages smoothens the progress of the project activities in true sense. As a result numbers of women set up herbal plant cultivation programme either on their own land or on let out terrain. We are proud of Terre des Homes, Switzerland whose long-term supports and precious guidance could make us possible to achieve the goal.

At present 3185 women are directly engaged in the project activities i.e. cultivation of medicinal plants, a rise of 34 percent from the previous year, and more than a ton of plants and parts thereof were sold by the women beneficiaries, which resulted a lucrative monthly income amounting to Rs. 400/- to Rs. 800/- per women.

Cultivation of Medicinal Plants (DBT)
Government of India through The department of Biotechnology (DBT) has extended economic support for tissue culture and growing popularity in cultivation of medicinal plants which form the basic ingredient of general medicine. A Tissue culture laboratory has been running successfully under supervision of specialist and vitro gown plants are distributed to rural women, who are being encouraged for cultivation of medicinal plants. SHIS acknowledges its thanks to GOI for extending their support.
“Our ultimate mission is to put forward the herbal medicines and medicinal plants cultivation programme as eco-friendly and effective low cost treatment”
