farm office, a processing unit, a small garden and four poly net houses.
Develop appropriate production, protection and processing
technologies for important medicinal and aromatic plants through basic,
strategic and applied research.
Germplasm enhancement of various medicinal and aromatic plants
Production of parental lines and breeder's stock
Act as a National Repository for the genetic resources of some important
medicinal and aromatic plants.
Coordinate research under the All India Coordinated Research Project on
Medicinal & Aromatic Plants and Betelvine (AICRPMAP&B).
Act as an Information Data Bank on medicinal and aromatic plants.
Transfer of technologies developed by the DMAPR to the farmers through
cooperation with the developmental agencies.
To identify plants which need attention of agricultural scientists
and to collect, maintain and evaluate the identified plants.
To carry out those basic researches on the chosen crops, which are useful to
develop their GAP.
To coordinate the activities of the centres of AICRP on Medicinal & Aromatic
Plants and Betelvine located in various agro-climatic zones of India.
To provide planting material and technical know-how generated for further
testing and refinement by the centres of the co-ordinated project and DMAPR.
To develop partnership between this research centre and private sector, NGOs and
farmers' associations/progressive farmers interested in promoting the use of
herbal medicines.
Two All India Coordinated Research Projects viz. All India Coordinated Research Project on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants and All India Coordinated Research Project on Betelvine has been merged and renamed as All India Coordinated Research Project on Medicinal, Aromatic Plants and Betelvine (AICRPMAP&B). Its headquarters is housed in the DMAPR and Director DMAPR is also responsible for coordination and monitoring of research work of the project as Project Co-ordinator. There are now 21 centres in State Agricultural Universities including two new centres at IGKVV, Raipur and BAU, Ranchi and one ICAR centre at IIHR, Hirehalli.
