Efloraofindia completes 11 years on 17.6.18

[J.M. Garg]

Dear members,

We have completed 11 years on 17.6.18 with more enthusiasm and hard work

by inserting more than 50,000 images in last one year. We have not only added images on species pages, but also used them for comparative purposes at genera & family pages of around 155 families, along with corrections of wrongly identified posts and identifications of unidentified posts in these families, in last one year. 

New species continue to be added unabatedly including a lot from ornamental plants. We seek more and more participation and postings of new plants from all concerned. 

I repeat what we said on completion of 10 years: 

"Dear members,

It is really difficult to describe the long journey of 10 years of Efloraofindia in a few paragraphs. It had all emotions of a pot boiler like joy, pain, satisfaction etc. It started with a commitment to do something for the society in as little a way as possible. As the movement grew, so did the ideas to do something more. Lot of them got concretised during this long journey. As everybody put their heads together, we did lot of things unheard of before. Ours was a unique journey with no precedents. Naturally, it carried all the thrills with it, as are associated with any first time adventure. It showed what can be achieved even without a single penny being spent or any one even meeting physically. It was a movement of thousands of people coming together from diverse backgrounds and places, just like small streams ultimately forming the sea. Result has been documentation of 12,000 species with more than 2,50,000 images due to the efforts of our 2800 members & others experts from outside.

And our commitment has not diminished, but only growing. Future is more challenging than the past was. Let us all re-dedicate ourselves on this occasion for building of the efloraofindia."

 

Our sincere thanks to The Pillars, Subject/ Area Experts, Moderators, Major contributors & other members who are rendering selfless service on the group & made this endeavour possible for the benefit of everyone.

My salutation to the original idea of developing such a huge resource of information... all freely available. Great team work and untiring efforts by Garg Ji have led to this stage.

A lot have been achieved in this 11 year journey but "miles to go".

My best wishes for future journey.
