Not  Stevia rebaudiana, which belongs to ASTERACEAE. If you eat the leaves it will be  very very sweet.  A substitute for sugars . Powder of the leaves / extract  sold in markets.  Very costly.

But your plant is different  - Lamiaceae  member.   Need to check before suggesting ID. 

[D.S Rawat]

Appear as some species of Ocimum (Lamiaceae); not Stevia. Please compare with available species of Ocimum in eFI at- https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/l/lamiaceae/ocimum
