(a) & (b): After review of the centre the Quinquennial Review Team recommended that the performance of the institute did not justify further continuance. Accordingly the centre has been closed w.e.f. 01.4.2004, as per the decision of the Standing Finance Committee/Expenditure Finance Committee.
However, in the vicinity, there is another centre for Medicinal and Aromatic plants at Distt. Mandsaur (Madhya Pradesh), which is serving the needs of the area around Indore.
