KULGAM: Under Swachhta Pakhwada campaign, a plantation cum cleanliness drive was today organised by District Nodal Office (DNO) Ayush Kulgam in collaboration with Jammu and Kashmir Biodiversity Council and Jammu and Kashmir Forest research institute and Research Centre at Ayush Gram Arreh Kulgam.
District Nodal Officer Ayush Kulgam, Dr Abdul Rahman Rather briefed the participants by quoting "Anposh Teli Yeli Wan Posh" and stressed for cultivation of Medicinal plants for the general knowledge of participants. He added that Medicinal plants are a source of biomolecules with therapeutic potential and as a lead to develop new drugs. Herbal medicines are considered as safer, better physiological compatibility and cost-effective.
India is a gold mine of medicinal plants and a rich repository of traditional medicinal knowledge, said Dr Abdul Rahman Rather on the occasion. He said that it is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanates from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit. Locals hailed the programme and requested and called for organising more such programmes in near future, also.
