  • The project “Green Ahalia” is an excellent collection of diverse thematic gardens including Palmetum, Bambusetum, Dye Yielding plants, RET Garden, Star forest etc. The collections are well managed and neatly labelled. This collection will help to enrich biodiversity values, ecosystem services and will serve as an excellent concept for biodiversity conservation for students and farmers. The novel concept like sandal based agroforestry model will serve concepts to farmers and other people. I wish all the success and this garden will be an asset to the state.

  • Visited different plantations/gardens representing invaluable plant resources of our country. Many threatened species, which are extremely rare today, have seen conserved in Ahalia Campus. The vanished knowledge such as Dye yielding plants are extremely important to educate our new generations about India’s rich plant resource heritage. I congratulate Ahalia for this noble effort, which many govt. organizations responsible for such activities are far behind. Ahalia must continue such activities with enhanced efforts and outstanding vision.
