Indeed we have made very promising achievements in this year and at the same time I also know that that my contribution has been very low but I do follow posts and keep an eye on what interests me. I am extremely sorry for my less activity. The journal was indeed a big thing to start and not to forget the mention of eflora of india in different manuscripts and conferences. We should keep giving such presentations and keep making people aware of what we have been doing. I also wish if there was a media interview where someone can speak about the concept and achievements. I wish you all very very happy new year and hope that our group achieves more milestones in near future. Special Thanks to Garg sir, Gurcharan sir, Nidhan sir, Balkar sir, DINESH sir and all.. Best regards Pankaj
