ICMR sponsored Workshop on Man and Medicinal plants
23 & 24 February 2012
Organized
Department of Botany, Bharathiar University, CoimbatoreAbout the workshop
There has always been a strong relationship between man and medicinal plants. Right from the start of civilization plants have been used as medicine by men and animals, probably by animals before men. Ayurveda, born out of the Vedas, has always had a close bond with herbal plants. Plants have become the never ending source for new bio-dynamic compounds of potential therapeutic value. It is in this context that our Department is proposing to organize this scientific gathering with full involvement of experts from various organizations/agencies from all over India. With the objective of sharing experiences and knowledge in the field of herbal research, this workshop provide a platform and opportunities to the participants to interact with the national scientists of herbal research. Moreover the
workshop is expected to bring out new ideas and research knowledge associated with emerging challenges and research opportunities in herbal science to the budding scientists. We hope this workshop will provide a clear image of how medicinal plants can provide a safer future for human beings, as they did in past and doing in present too.
