Dr G Narahari Sastry, Director, CSIR-NEIST, Jorhat inaugurated the sixth 'Multilocational Trial & Regional Research Experimental Farm' at Bokajan, Karbi Anglong, Assam on 6th August 2021. CSIR - North East Institute of Science and Technology, Jorhat has embarked on making plans to fructify the vision of our honourable Prime Minister in doubling the farmer’s income in the next few years. The most essential to achieve these objectives is the identification, domestication and cultivation of rare, threatened and endangered species of medicinal and aromatic plants to sustain the modern pharmaceutical industries and also for sustenance of India’s strong traditional system of medicines for which the crucial factors such as breeding of new plant varieties, identification of stable performance through multilocational trials, integration of modern science along with market and industrial application potential are the key. The initiative is aimed to enhance participative and participatory R&D leading to the development of desired technology, product and service.
