Medicinal Plants

The medicinal plant garden of the Institute at Peechi campus is occupied in 0.6 Ha. The garden was established in 1979 with objectives of conservation, education and extension activities.

At present, around 370 species of live collections are maintained. The garden is visited by students, researchers, and the public.
