Under the aegis of Nagarjuna Research foundation and the Nagarjuna Social Service Society, Nagarjuna had initiated ongoing programs for promoting the cultivation of medicinal plants and trees. For that, there is a registered charitable trust with an objective to conserve, promote and popularize medicinal plants. The emphasis is given to preserve the rare species of medicinal plants which are on the verge of extinction, resulting in severe damage to thousands of precious medicinal flora all over the country. From time immemorial, various medicinal herbs have been made use as medicines. Needless to say those medicinal plants have wonderful curative and prophylactic uses. Such plants being grown in and around our living places are off late being neglected.
Nagarjuna since 1990 has developed a separate wing to review this situation and bring a number of medicinal plants to the reach of common public. An ambitious program has been developed for scientific propagation of medicinal plants using defined methods of cultivation. Nagarjuna has been relentlessly promoting the cultivation of medicinal plants, since 1990 has developed an Herbal garden having more than 100 species of rare medicinal plants.
