Dear members,. Vijayasankar ji saw a dream- a dream of having an e-flora of India & he told us about it a few years back when he joined efi. He also expressed his desire to be part of this one day. There was a lot of discussion on this issue & his dream still remain fresh in my & others mind. There was a similar desire from Singh ji.
I am attaching that old thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!topicsearchin/indiantreepix/group:indiantreepix$20AND$20Quest$20AND$20for$20AND$20'e-flora'$20AND$20of$20AND$20India/indiantreepix/nPBfRIs_K0s We tried to create something like efi site in addition to FOI, though their real dream is still away. At this point of time, we can only say that we are moving in the right direction & one day their dreams will certainly be fulfilled. -- With regards, J.M.Garg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jmgarg1 'Creating awareness of Indian Flora & Fauna' The whole world uses my Image Resource of more than a *thousand species* & eight thousand images of Birds, Butterflies, Plants etc. (arranged alphabetically & place-wise): http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:J.M.Garg.
