COMPLETED PROJECTS:

1. STUDIES ON RUSSULALES OF SIKKIM HIMALAYA: PART I – WEST DISTRICT (2008-2011): A total of 42 spp. of mushrooms under two families (Russulaceae and Hericiaceae) were documented. While dealing this work eight new species, 11 new records for India were described.

2. STUDIES ON WILD MUSHROOMS OF NORTH SIKKIM (2011-2014): A total of 110 spp. of wild mushrooms belonging to 25 families and 50 genera were documented. While dealing this work 19 novel species were described.

3. STUDIES ON WILD MUSHROOMS OF EAST AND SOUTH SIKKIM (EXCEPT AGARICACEAE, HYGROPHORACEAE, BOLETACEAE, SUILLACEAE AND CANTHARELLACEAE) (2014-2018): While working on this project 28 new species under 10 genera were discovered.

COUNTRY REPRESENTATION/ FOREIGN VISITS

  Represented the country in the CITES ‘International Expert Workshop on Non-Detriment Findings (NDFs)’ held in United Nations Complex, UN Avenue in Nairobi, Kenya (4 to 8 December, 2023) as a member of Indian Delegation.

  Represented the country (21–26 August, 2019) as a member of Indian delegation in the 18th Meeting of the Conference of Parties (CoP18) to the CITES held in Geneva, Switzerland.

Acted as invited panel member and provided inputs to improvise the 9-step NDF guidelines of CITES in the side event on NDF of plants held in Palexpo, Geneva on 21.08.2019.

  Attended ‘9th International Symposium on Diversity and Conservation of Asian Orchids’ (Fuzhou City, China from 15–17 November, 2013) and delivered a lecture on ‘Indian Goodyerinae (‘Jewel orchids’): Taxonomy, Conservation and IUCN-status’ in the symposium as an invited speaker.

SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE NATIONAL/ INTERNATIONAL POLICIES/ REGULATIONS/ RULES ETC.

  Represented the country in the CITES ‘International Expert Workshop on Non-Detriment Findings (NDFs)’ held in United Nations Complex, UN Avenue in Nairobi, Kenya from 4 to 8 December, 2023 as a member of ‘Indian Delegation’; actively contributed to the Working Group 10  (NDFs of Plants; Module 11) as a WG member to develop/improve the NDF guidance.

  Represented the country in the 18th Meeting of the Conference of Parties (CoP18) to the CITES held in Geneva, Switzerland in August 2019 as a member of ‘Indian Delegation’; advocated in favour of delisting of Dalbergia sissoo from Appendix II of CITES/ amendment of Annotation #15 of CITES with respect to Dalbergia spp. and some Guibourtia spp. Participated in ‘Working Group’ to develop further revisions of Annotation #15. Due to this amendment, finished products to a maximum weight of wood of the listed species (including D. sissoo) of up to 10 kg per shipment (from 500 gm per item), and finished musical instruments, finished musical instrument parts, and finished musical instrument accessories were allowed to export without CITES control. Successfully prevented inclusion of the entire genus Cedrela under CITES Appendix II; rather, CITES control was allowed by amendment and by adding Annotation #6 to restrict the trade to non-plantation species and only neotropics range species.

  As per instruction of MoEF&CC (WL), a proposal for delisting of Dalbergia sissoo from CITES Appendix II was which was accepted by Govt. of India and submitted (co-proponent: Nepal) to CITES for CITES CoP 19 (Panama City, USA).

  As per instruction of MoEF&CC (WL), a proposal for delisting of Dalbergia sissoo from CITES Appendix II was prepared which was accepted by Govt. of India and submitted (co-proponents: Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka) to CITES for CITES CoP 18 (Geneva, Switzerland).

  Three proposals to amend the main volume of the ‘International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN)’ have been included in the ‘Shenzhen Code’.
