Dr. K. SANKARA RAO- The leader of Flora of Peninsular India

[J.M. Garg]

Dear members,

Dr. K. SANKARA RAO has done a wonderful job, in leading a competent team to put at a single place known species in Peninsular India, along with details like descriptions and keys from the books (in the form of images), herbarium specimens, digital images, state wise and district wise distribution etc.  
We should be proud of him and his wonderful team.

You will not believe that he is 80 plus and could execute such a challenging assignment at this age.

We would like to know from him, whenever time permits, how he went about it, difficulties faced during the journey and feelings on getting it done.

We would also like to know the experience of the other members of the team, for everybody's benefit here. 

My hats off to such a wonderful leader and his great team.

I respect them and I want to help them. 

I just randomly looked at it and it was bad luck that I landed right upon a page where all plants were misidentified. I am sure with Novendu on board, they can get things done, but may be Novendu is too busy.

Thanks and regards

Pankaj

Thanks, Pankaj ji.
Yes, there are lot of misidentifications. 

But one has to make a beginning somewhere. May be things get corrected over a period of time.

I have also suggested a lot of corrections in the images- it will be a ongoing process.

Dear Dr. Garg,

I cannot thank you enough for your kind words of appreciation. Thank you Sir.  We can have a long chat

one of these days  when I can tell you the entire story of what it took for us to build the

portal. Please give your phone number and the best time for us to talk.

Thank you Garg ji for initiating this wonderful introduction. 

He is always helpful, and most enthusiastic. His efforts to maintain and digitise JCB herbarium should be much appreciated, similarly contribution towards compiling the eFlora of Peninsular India. 

Whenever I travel to Bangalore, I love to meet Dr. Sankara Rao (JCB, IISC) and Prof. K. Ravikumar (FRLH). 

I have enclosed a picture of Dr. Rao with his newly furbished JCB herbarium compartments. 

Sincerely, 

Mayur
