From the foreword: "Publication of Agrotechniques of High Altitude Medicinal Plants by HAPPRC fulfills a long pending demand which had remained unmet for nearly a decade now. It only shows how much work still remain to be done when we realize that out of 17,000 known aromatic plants species in India, nearly 2000 are in active use and nearly 800 species have been identified as having medicinal value.

This publication will not only be received with open arms by all but will encourage all practitioners in the field."
