Dear members, Last one year was the most difficult period <https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/URiXFJzFTYQ> in the history of efloraofindia <https://efloraofindia.com/>, as a shock came in August from Google disbanding Classic google sites by 31.10.21. After a lot of discussions with moderators, we came out with a specification for our new site and with God's grace we finally managed to migrate our contents and get our new efloraofindia site <https://efloraofindia.com/> on 3rd of Dec '2020, with minimum possible damages <https://efloraofindia.com/2020/12/04/eflora-of-india-new-site/>. Restoration, in particular to formatting <https://efloraofindia.com/2020/12/19/our-new-https-efloraofindia-com-site-is-ready-now/>, has been started since then and it may take us a few years. Google groups were also changed from Classic to New, which led to numerous problems. Despite all the troubles, we continued our constructive work with full zeal and did not allow our output to go down. Old warhorses Gurcharan Singh ji <https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/gsleVZuFPsI> and Surajit ji <https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/wMqNeduQ64Y> returned back with extensive participation, while Saroj ji <https://efloraofindia.com/%e0%a4%85%e0%a4%9c%e0%a5%87%e0%a4%af-ajey-of-efloraofindia/> and Paradesi ji <https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/F2gpZbD0zdA/m/j4D_AXcxAwAJ> continued their superb work.
As always, we remain indebted to the Outstanding Contributors <https://efloraofindia.com/2020/08/02/outstanding-contributors-d96/>, The Pillars <https://efloraofindia.com/2011/11/12/pillars-of-efloraofindia-d1/> , Subject/ Area Experts <https://efloraofindia.com/2014/09/16/subject-experts/>, Moderators <https://efloraofindia.com/2011/01/12/moderators-d61/>, Major contributors <https://efloraofindia.com/2011/01/12/major-contributors-d81/> & other members who are rendering selfless service to this group & made this endeavour possible for the benefit of everyone. On this occasion, we salute Pankaj Kumar ji, who is not only one of the founding members, but also one of the most celebrated taxonomists in our family. He has looked into each and every post on orchids posted in our group and given his valuable time and energy for their correct identification. He continued to inspire each one of us, in this onerous journey of efloraofindia. I think this group remains the most accurate on our site. I always wonder the amount of energy he possesses in taking care of his multifaceted work. -- With regards, J.M.Garg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "efloraofindia" group.
