The students of PM Shri Kamalaram Nautiyal Government Adarsh Inter College, Dhauntari visited Bhagirathi Herbal Garden under Dunda Range in Dhanari on an educational tour. The main objective behind this tour was to enable the students to see closely the medicinal plants which grow in the Himalayan forests. Along with this, they would imbibe the responsibility of conserving these precious plants abounding in medicinal properties, the organisers of the tour said.
During the visit, the students learnt the method of making herbal medicine from researchers and they also conducted water quality test of natural water sources at the site.

During the trip, the students gained detailed scientific knowledge about Himalayan medicinal plants like Kutki, Thuner, Kedar Paati, Ganga Tulsi and Bajradanti.
The Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer and Magsaysay Award recipient, Sanjeev Chaturvedi congratulated the students and said that Himalayan medicinal plants are on the verge of extinction and the youth must come forward to conserve them.
