Efloraofindia has grown up tremendously under the leadership of stalwarts like Garg sir. Indeed some tiny potatoes like me contributed some tiny bits. But what we have come to, couldn't have been possible without Gurcharan sir, Dinesh sir and many many names already present in the first post. I am glad to be a part of this family, although I have not contributed much in the recent times. Keep it up. pankaj On Tue, 5 Jan 2021 at 19:22, Dinesh Valke <[email protected]> wrote: > The 2020 journey of eFI was of determined growth.
