"There has been substantial growth in the research of plants which have medicinal value, amid the Covid times. It is a good beginning. Just this July, the Indian Virtual Herbarium was launched. It shows how we can use the digital world to connect with our roots," said PM Modi.
"There's a database of preserved plants or plant parts on the Indian Virtual Herbarium, which is freely available on the web. More than 1 lakh specimens & related scientific information are also available. This virtual herbarium displays our botanical diversity," he added.
He also mentioned that initiatives like national beekeeping and honey mission are transforming the lives of our farmers by helping increase their income.
"My dear countrymen, today we started our discussion on 75 years of Independence, with a visit across the country. The next time we meet, the journey of our next 25 years would have already begun. We all have to join for our beloved tricolour to be hoisted at our homes and those of our loved ones. Do share with me how you celebrated Independence Day, if you did anything special, this time. Next time, we will talk again about the different colours of our Amrit Parv. Till then, I take leave of you. Thank you very much," said PM Modi.
