Congratulations Dinesh ji Your participation in the family weeks has given a real flip to the activities and helped us all know your great collection of Indian Flora. You are the true driver of the eFloraofindia, bringing in new innovations, upgrading our website. Without your involvement in Best photograph/Best set nominations, I don't know how we would have handled the voting process. You are true Hero of the Group.
