Respected Sir I am pursuing my M.Phil in Environmental Sciences at Jammu University since March 2011. My study area is my native place in Greater Himalayan region of J&K called Paddar valley in between the valley of Pangi in H.P and Zanskar in Ladakh and Kishtwar High altitude National Park J&K. This area is rich in floral faunal diversity with no roads and electricity till date. I have visited only 3 times in June, July and August 2011 for field study and photographed about 500 plant species but being a layman with no background of taxanomy and low quality camera the quality of photographs is not good. But I want to continue my Ph.D in the same field and I have decided to buy a good camera for the next visits. I am also unfortunate to have no expert in my deptt. in concerned field. But my passion for plant diversity forced me to choose the field. I am learning a lot from EFI especially Gurcharan Sir. If possible I would also like to register in a good institution for my Ph.D. in order to have quality research. Many many thanks EFI for helping me a lot.
