Before writing this I felt a feeling of guilt inside me, my mind coercing me to think about the harm , the inflicts we make in the beautiful world of nature where everything has its own importance , everything is in accordance to nature’s law. And then we say in our EVS books and classes that we should conserve and preserve nature for our future and the coming generations. How deceitful we are indeed!
But anyway, I am writing a book on Lucknow and not on how to preserve and conserve nature( let that be the work of our great environmentalists), If I started doing that ,well you might see me flashing on your T.V. any day ! Leave all that behind and read on to find more about CIMAP.
Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, popularly called CIMAP, is a frontier plant research laboratory of Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). It was established originally as the Central Indian Medicinal Plants Organization (CIMPO) in 1959. CIMAP has been providing and extending technologies and service to the farmers and entrepreneurs of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAP’s) with its research headquarters at Lucknow and research centres at Bangalore, Pantnagar, Purara and Hyderabad.
A little more than 50 years since its inception, CIMAP has been able to make bilateral relations on MAP technologies with Malaysia. Apart from focusing on conservation and preservation of high quality MAP’s, CIMAP also has been actively involved in national and international projects.
Internationally, CIMAP has been recognized as the focal point for South East Asia by International Centre of Science – United Nations Industrial Development Organization (ICS-UNIDO) and has collaborated with Bulgarian Academy of Rose Oil Technology. Nationally, CIMAP has collaborated with Indian Institute of Agricultural Research (IIAR) Gandhinagar, Gujarat and with North East Institute of Science and Technology (NIEST) Jorhat, Assam.
