    Abstract
    One of the important activities of the National Medicinal Plants Board (NMPB), an apex body of the Government of India, is area  extension  of  medicinal  plants  cultivation  programmes  through  training  and education. Medicinal plants being new to the  farming  system,  their  farming  requires  an  effective  institutional  mechanism  for  technology  transfer  on  crops  and  varieties that can be grown in an agro-climatic zone.  Besides,  information  is  required  to transfer  on  the  soil  suitability  for  a  particular  crop,  cultivation  practices,  sources  of  seeds  and  quality  planting  material,  market information on prices, ‘mandies’, traders,  manufacturers  and  demand  assessment of different species.
