Dear Tabish ji That is really great, now at least every one will know that we have QR Codes for all species on our website. Now we have to advertise it boldly on our website and personal contacts so that more and more people know and use in their placards/labels. It should make website very popular, knowing that this is single largest website on Indian plants with descriptions as well as images, and common names. Great going Tabish ji.
