2014- eFI Year of genera pages

[J.M. Garg]

Dear members,

Attempts are also being made to update genera pages so as to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible. Already substantial work has been done. In this, Dr. R.S. Rawat is playing a key role. A few others like Tapas ji, Vijayasankar ji, Singh ji, Sukla ji, Pankaj ji etc. have also helped a lot in the matter. We expect to complete it by Dec.'2014 for most of the genera having more than four species in India.

In view, let us declare 2014 as eFI Year of genera pages.

We also request all the members & moderators to help us in any possible way.

If anybody have any such data in soft copy, it will be of great help. 

For any queries, pl. let me know.
