He is wellknown botanist  and has 21+ years experience and research & development  in medicinal plants and is interested to meet the expectations and needs of the nation. Not only the said The Jammu and Kashmir Medicinal Plants Introduction Centre is working in the country but throughout the world its research is going on. Sheikh Gulzaar has spent most of his life on Himalayan mountains, footsteps and river banks while he was travelling for the project.


Head and botanist Sheikh Gulzaar said that Medicinal plants are having a good demand not only in the country but abroad also. “Buy cultivating such plants the institution has till date provided such plants to about 34 thousand research institutions, individuals”. This way it has helped the researchers but has provided such plants to them time to time. “Institution has earned a good fame in the country as well as has given training to so many unemployed and educated youth of the country hence in this way they are able to earn their livelihood”. He said.

The institution has received about 7,880 applications since 1994 for giving full descriptions regarding such plants as well as identity, birth, botanical information and family structure of such plants and its benefits as well as “we have been given letter of originty, Phytosanitary information & letter of authenticity , with the result such fellows have been absolutely helped in carrying  over their research forward”. Sheikh Gulzaar  added.

As we know, Kashmir is one of the cold region of Himalaya and the season of valley is not trustworthy here remains, cold temperature, snowfall with the result the public  are suffering and every year huge losses  are being faced by us as well as research job is also being  affected, “Due to non-availability of high-tech green houses, so many valuable plants dies due to extensive heat or cold and we requested so many  times to Government  to provide us  proper place near high altitude so that we may be  able to cultivate other countries medicinal , wild flowers and fruit plants here also”  he added.

 “I have also secured hundreds of seeds from Europe, Middle East and Africa and have planted them in different areas and have obtained seeds from them as well as medicines, but it is difficult as the said seeds are only being sowing in such areas where the atmosphere will be neat and clean. Said Sheikh Gulzaar 



Sheikh Gulzaar further added that Government of Jammu and Kashmir is not helping us. “Till date government of Jammu and Kashmir has not helped us in any way, we have got on lab or other high-tech facilities so that our job will become easy”,


Research institutions, Universities and organizations should identify the problems of our agriculture; we lack the speed in all situations.


He further added that we are dependent upon organic fertilizers i.e. biomass, peat, manure plant leaves, tree barks but to obtain such items “we have to work hard as such the public is not hesitating to purchase our seeds and our target remains always upon such medicinal plants which is having demand in the market for ever”.


“Threat is not the availability of the fertile land but current tendency to go away from agriculture and converting the land for other proposes. He said “Lack of direct access to market place, involvement of the middle man and lack of man power due to the younger generation choosing other professions for better marginal & small farmers.” He said

To invest for upliftment of J&K “We have to make focus on Kashmir Himalaya for cultivating such plants to obtain medicines” which can be used for Cancer disease also and second main focus will be Food Technology as our country is presently facing heavy danger of Cancer and shortage of food.

Syed Ali Shah Gilani asked to pay Rs 1.73cr tax

Buy Medicinal seeds
Srinagar : Income Tax department has asked  Kashmiri separatist  Syed Ali Shah Geelani to pay Rs 1.73 crore in tax dues over a period when he had not filed his returns after rejecting his appeal.

The I-T sleuths, who had swooped on residences of Geelani and his family members in 2002 and seized valuable items including a diamond-studded watch gifted by Pakistan Government, had raised a tax demand of over Rs 1.5 crore.

Geelani challenged the demand and approached the Commissioner of Income Tax (appeals) for review of the case and also sought a waiver, saying he did not earn anything other than the pension from Government of Jammu and Kashmir and from agriculture land.

The case dragged on for nearly three years and recently the appeal was dismissed after which he was asked to deposit Rs 1.73 crore as tax liabilities by the end of 2010.

Geelani, who heads the breakaway faction of Hurriyat Conference, has still the option to go to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT).

The Tax Department had raised the demand of Rs 1.73 crore against the firebrand Jamaat-e-Islami leader after giving him ample opportunities to furnish answers to a questionnaire about his sources of income.

The questionnaire followed an assessment of Geelani's wealth by the department following a series of raids conducted at his house and other places in June 2002.

The department had raided Geelani's house and other places of his kin on June 9, 2002 and seized Rs 10.2 lakh and 10,000 US dollars in cash, vouchers showing purchase of substantial amount of jewellery, a diamond-encrusted watch inscribed with "From Pakistan Government" besides documents pertaining to purchase of property and vehicles.

Geelani had shown an annual income of Rs 17,100--Rs 7,100 as pension from the state Assembly as a former MLA and Rs 10,000 as agriculture income.

However, according to the assessment made by the Income Tax Department, the monthly expenditure of Geelani allegedly ranged from Rs one lakh to Rs 1.5 lakh as he had 15 servants at his house and his wife had confirmed that she used to get Rs 25,000 per month for kitchen expenses.

When asked to comment, Geelani said he had not received the notice as yet and would like to first understand the grounds of rejection before reacting.

Medicinal plants may become extinct due to habitat destruction

( Natural News ) Ninety-three percent of the wild plants used in traditional Indian ayurvedic medicine are threatened with extinction, according to an assessment carried out by the Botanical Survey of India.

In November 2000, the Indian government formed a National Medicinal Plants Board to promote the development and conservation of local medicinal plants. As the threat to many species from overharvesting and habitat loss became clear, the board launched the "Central Sector Scheme for Conservation, Development and Sustainable Management of Medicinal Plants" in 2008. The scheme's mission includes identifying threats to native medicinal plants, promoting their sustainable harvest and finding ways to domesticate them and produce them out of the wild.

Ninety-five percent of all medicinal herbs used in ayurvedic medicine are wild harvested, mostly from forests.

Using the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources' (IUCN's) Red List Categories, the government assessed the status of 359 wild medicinal plants. It found that 335 of them -- 93 percent -- are near-threatened, vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered.

The government has already taken action to relocate some of the threatened plants, including Utleria Salicifolia and Hydnocarpus Pentandra in Western Ghats, Gymnocladus Assamicus and Begonia Tessaricarpa from Arunachal Pradesh and Agapetes Smithiana in Sikkim. Plans to set up 29 separate Medicinal Plants Conservation Areas are also underway.

The primary threat to the wild plants is overharvesting for the herbal supplements industry. As alternative medical therapies such as ayurvedic herbalism grow in popularity worldwide, unforeseen consequences can emerge.

In 2008, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that 20 percent of Indian herbal supplements purchased online were contaminated with lead, mercury or arsenic. Some ayurvedic practitioners have claimed that this contamination is the result of the processing techniques used in modern factories and is not a characteristic of traditional Indian medicine.
