- 1. National Medicinal Plants Board ( NMPB) Presented by: SHAHEEN SHABBIR MPharm I Semester Department of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry SPER, Jamia Hamdard
- 2. National Medicinal Plants Board(NMPB) • India is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of biodiversity, has 15 agro-climatic zones. Out of the 17000-18000 species of flowering plants, more than 7000 are estimated to have medicinal usage in folk and documented systems of medicine like Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha & Homoeopathy (AYUSH System of Medicine). • The Government of India has set up National Medicinal Plants Board (NMPB) on 24th November 2000. Currently the board is working as a section of Ministry of AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha & Homoeopathy), Government of India. • The primary mandate of NMPB is to develop an appropriate mechanism for coordination between various ministries/ departments/ organizations in India and implements support policies/programs for overall (conservation, cultivation, trade and export) growth of medicinal plants sector both at the Central /State and International level .
- 3. Aims and Objectives promote research and development in-situ & ex-situ conservation raising awareness through promotional activities like creation of Home/School herbal gardens. capacity building through trainings quality assurance and standardization through development of Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACPs)
- 4. Functions Primary functions of NMPB is to develop a proper mechanism for co- ordination between various ministries/ departments/ organization and implementation of support policies/programs for overall (conservation, cultivation, trade and export) growth of medicinal plants sector Promotion of in-situ / ex-situ conservation and cultivation of medicinal plants. Advise concerned Ministries/ Departments/ Organizations/ State/ UT Governments on policy matters relating to schemes and programs for development of medicinal plants. Development of protocols for cultivation and quality control. Provide guidance in the formulation of proposals, schemes and programs etc. to be taken-up by agencies having access to land for cultivation and infrastructure for collection, storage and transportation of medicinal plants.
- 5. Organize training programs for capacity building of stakeholders on medicinal plants (including cultivation, conservation, GAPs, GFCPs, GMPs, Storage, PHM and market information). Identification, Inventorisation and Quantification of medicinal plants Undertaking and awarding Scientific, Technological research and cost-effectiveness studies.
- 8. IN- SITU In-situ conservation deals with the on-site conservation of the wild genetic resources/genetic diversity in natural habitat. In India, the conservation of forest areas through Protected Areas like National Parks, Wildlife Sanctuaries and Biosphere Reserves. In-situ conservation of medicinal plants is carried out through following activities: ● Medicinal Plants Conservation and Development Area’s (MPCDA’s) ● In-situ Resource Augmentation EX -SITU conservation dealing with the off-site conservation of the wild genetic resources/ genetic diversity in natural habitat. It includes the collection, preservation and maintenance of selected genetic resources from wild. For example expanding area under medicinal plants and aromatic species of medicinal value. Plantations of medicinal plants raised in lands outside designated forests. Such plantations are raised by organizations having ownership / long term lease of lands and requisite technical competence. Conservation Conservation deals with the study of natural resources and their management for sustainable use and their perpetual existence in their natural habitat.
- 9. Herbal Gardens NMPB intend to establish herbal garden of various types to popularize the usefulness of commonly available and frequently used Medicinal Plants among the various stakeholders and sensitize the public about our traditional knowledge. It is also a way of conserving Rare, Endangered and Threatened (RET) species of Medicinal Plants. Herbal Gardens Herbal Gardens of State and National Importance Home Herbal Gardens School Herbal Gardens Institutional/ Public Herbal Gardens
- 10. Information, Education and Communication (IEC) Activities NMPB involve in Information, Education and Communication (IEC) activities for disseminating the traditional knowledge among the masses with the objective of spreading awareness about Medicinal Plants. It is necessary to disseminate information on different aspects of medicinal plants like harvesting from wild, cultivation technologies, manufacturing, proper handling of raw material, trade etc among various target groups about the importance of development and management through an appropriate outreach strategy..
- 11. Activities • Publicity through regular participation in Exhibitions/Fairs • Aushadi Vanaspati Mitra Program (AVM) • Organizing Workshops/Seminars/Conferences etc. • Setting up of Facilitation Centres • Medicinal Plant Species specific Campaigns • Systematic use of Multimedia and other appropriate communication tools. • Publication of Periodicals/Magazines and Newsletters • Training and Capacity Building initiatives.
- 12. Cultivation The main objective of NMPB is to encourage cultivation of medicinal plants and its sustainable management across the country and to reduce pressure on the collection from wild habitat in forests. NMPB is working to promote cultivation of medicinal plants and supported in a Mission mode under Centrally Sponsored Scheme of “National Mission on Medicinal Plants (NMMP)” since 2008-09 and now continuing under National AYUSH Mission (NAM), a flagship program launched by the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India during XII Plan period. The program is being implemented in the country through State Government designated agencies.
- 13. Quality Planting Material One of the major underlying reasons behind the slow progress in commercial cultivation of important medicinal plants (MPs) is the lack of their quality planting material (QPM) NMPB provides the financial assistance to developed Nurseries and Quality Planting Material / Germ Plasm Banks as per operational guidelines of NMPB mentioned in Central Sector Scheme of NMPB.
- 14. Research and Development 1 • Traceability of raw drugs.Germination and seed treatment protocols.Population assessments and conservation biology Development of DNA barcoding, Spectrometry HPLC methods etc. for setting up Botanical Reference Standards. 2 • Studies/Documentation on impact of global warming, various policies and regulatory regimes effecting stake- holders. • establishment of repositories/gene bank etc. • Fellowship support for Degrees in the field of medicinal plants 3 • Establishment of quality standards.Ethno-medicinal exploration, documentation and its digitization.. • Identification of substitutes for traded species for inclusion in Pharmacopoeia
- 15. International Cooperation For international cooperation the NMPB, under its Central Sector Scheme also supports following activities as per the scheme guidelines: Participation in meetings of the relevant agencies at the international level Exchange visits of experts with countries of interest especially those having similar biogeography as India Participation in reputed international seminars/exhibitions on botanicals World Wide. This would also entail subsidizing industry desirous of such participation on reimbursement basis Commissioning studies on international regulations in the medicinal plants sector as knowledge about this is scarce at present. Setting up information centers on medicinal plants in Indian Missions abroad
- 16. Facilitation Centre The National Medicinal Plants Board through its Facilitation Centres (FCs) will provide a service window for growers of Medicinal Plants for supporting cultivation, provide handholding support to stakeholders in terms of technology dissemination, trainings, data compilation and maintenance etc,. The NMPB consider project based proposal for facilitation Centre. The Facilitation Centres work in close co-ordination with the concerned State Medicinal Plants Boards (SMPB) and also provide Training in the formulation of projects of Medicinal Plants Cultivation, Development and conduct following activities
- 17. • • Authentication of quality raw materials on the basis of Taxonomic identification and chemical parameters. • • Organisation of Stakeholders Meets • • Publication and dissemination of scheme guidelines, information on Agro-techniques,markets, prices etc. especially in local languages. • • To help in production of quality planting material by various agencies including Forest Department, NGOs and the private nurseries. • • Making available testing facilities for the material produced under NMPB schemes, where such facilities exist within the facilitation centres.
