About Project<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Nagarjun Medicinal Plants Garden has been established in the university during 1976 on 8.00 hectares land. At present garden possesses more than 340 Medicinal plant species, which have been registered under IC numberswith NBPGR, New Delhi. The research work on commercial viable medicinal plant species was also under taken to develop the agro technologies and uptill now 30 recommendations have been released on Periwinkle, Babchi, Khasikateri, Muskdana, Safed musli, Kalmegh, Ashwagandha, Palmarosa, Lemongrass and Isabgol.
\nThe project All India Networking Research project (Formerly AICRP) on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants has been functioning in the University from January 1997. Since its inception the research works on Periwinkle, Khasikateri, Babchi, Safed Musli, Ashwagandha, Muskdana, Kalmegh, Isabgol has been carried out under the technical research programme on crop improvement, crop production and phyto chemistry.<\/span><\/p>\n
