Dear members,
In view of outstanding contributions for the cause of eFloraofIndia, the title of ‘Jewel of eFloraofIndia' on Pankaj ji, was conferred on him during the 1st eFI Summit held on 19.6.22 to celebrate 15th anniversary.
We salute Pankaj Kumar ji, who is not only one of the founding members, but also one of the most celebrated taxonomists in our family. He has looked into each and every post on orchids posted in our group and given his valuable time and energy for their correct identification. I think this group remains the most accurate on our site. I always wonder the amount of energy he possesses in taking care of his multifaceted work.

He has single handedly taken upon himself to bring the Orchidaceae of India to the world on public platforms like eFI.

There is no denying that if any family from India is best showcased to the world, it is Orchidaceae. Thanks to the single minded pursuit of Pankaj ji.

Thanks, Pankaj ji, for your dedication and hard work, which is keeping all of us inspired for the future journey.

I am just a small potato as I have always said and I have learnt a lot from this group.

It's an honor for me to be recognised as "Jewel of eFloraofIndia". Thank you Garg sir for having me here and to all the tireless members who kept posting orchid images from all over India and even neighbouring countries, and kept me alive.

I have gained much more than what I have given.

Thanks and regards

Pankaj
