BACKGROUND
Taxonomy is a field of biology that is crucial for understanding the
diversity of life on earth. It not only encompasses the discovery,
description and classification of species but also plays a fundamental
role in conservation of biodiversity. Taxonomy is also an essential part
of studies related to forestry, horticulture, landscape development,
aesthetics and other fields relevant to mankind. Without taxonomy,
all other fields of biology will be deprived of their focus and aim.
Despite this, the number of trained taxonomists is declining and the
research priorities often shift away from taxonomy.
Therefore, the primary goal of this workshop is to enhance the
expertise of people in the field of plant taxonomy and inculcate the
knowledge of both classical as well as modern tools of taxonomy. This
workshop will help the participants acquire the necessary skills
required in the field of plant taxonomy and will also train them in
using a combination of techniques to study any taxa in detail. The
course will include training in basic techniques of plant identification,
herbarium making, nomenclature, classification, botanical
illustrations, floristics and revisionary studies, etc. as well as the
modern techniques of molecular taxonomy with an aim to develop
expertise among the post-graduate students, research scholars, and
teaching faculty working in the field of plant biology. The course will
also undertake field visits where participants will be exposed to
plants growing in natural habitats.

BOTANICAL SURVEY OF INDIA
Botanical Survey of India (BSI) was established in 1890 with the
objective of exploring the plant resources of the country. BSI has been
engaged in undertaking intensive floristic surveys and collecting
accurate and detailed information on the occurrence, distribution,
ecology and economic utility of plants in the country; collecting,
identifying and distributing materials that may be of use to
educational and research institutions; and acting as the custodian of
authentic collections in well planned herbaria and documenting plant
resources in the form of local, district, state and national flora. BSI has
11 regional centres in different regions of India. Central National
Herbarium is the largest herbarium in India.
