This sector has also become an important center of education and research. Students of Botany and Pharmacy from far and wide come here and earn practical knowledge about their qualities and use of these plants and collect samples for their studies.

By declaring it a conservation center, conservation, promotion and sustainable use of these species will be ensured.
