SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE NATIONAL/ INTERNATIONAL POLICIES/

REGULATIONS/ RULES ETC.

 Represented India as a member of Indian Delegation to the CITES CoP20, 79 th and 80 th

meetings of CITES standing Committee in Samarkand, Uzbekistan (21 November to 5

December, 2025). 

 Organized a side event on ‘Project Cheetah: Reintroduction of Cheetah in Indian

Landscape’ at Bukhara Deer Hall, Samarkand as responsible officer. Attended Plenary

sessions-meetings, general session-meetings, working groups

(Boswellia spp.), assisted the Government of India to prevent considering inclusion of

Boswellia serrata in Appendix III; assisted the Government of India to prevent

inclusion of Commiphora wightii, but with annotations; assisted the delegation to

successfully present India’s stand on article XIII etc.

 

 Represented India as a member of Indian Delegation to the 27th meeting of the CITES

Plants Committee held in Geneva from 8 – 13 July, 2024. Drafted India's position on

the agenda items of the meeting; actively participated in different In-session Working

Groups relevant to India's interest.  

 Aquilaria malaccensis (Agarwood) was selected for the stage 2 of RST process for

India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand during the CITES 26th PC Meeting.

However, the MoEF&CC (WL) took immediate action and commissioned the Non-

Detriment Findings (NDF) study of Aquilaria malaccensis through the Botanical

Survey of India (PI: Dr Avishek Bhattacharjee) in October 2023. Based on the NDFs

report submitted to the CITES Secretariat by MoEF&CC(WL) in May 2024,  the CITES

Secretariat recommended (PC27 Doc. 15.4) removal of India from the RST for A.

malaccensis.

During this CITES PC27 Meeting, the Indian delegation made intervention in support of

the recommendation by the Secretariat favouring India’s removal from RST. An ‘In-

session Working Group’ was established during the meeting for reviewing the ongoing

cases of species selected following CoP18 (Agenda 15.3), and for reviewing the

recommendations by the CITES Secretariat with respect to eight taxa concerning 29

Parties (Agenda 15.4), i.e. Species selected following CoP19. No objection was raised

from the floor against the Secretariat’s recommendation for removal of India w.r.t.

Aquilaria malaccensis as India submitted the NDFs by establishing a zero export quota

from wild and also established proper export quota from non-wild sources, and

therefore, the RST for A. malaccensis–India species-country combination was not put

further in the WG. Hence, India was removed from RST w.r.t. Aquilaria malaccensis.

 The annual export quota of Aquilaria malaccensis (Agarwood) from India (from plants

under cultivation/ plantation) was increased from 25,000 kg (chips and powder) and

1,500 kg (oil) to 1,51,080 kg and 7,050 kg respectively based on the Non-Detriment

Findings (NDFs) study conducted by the Botanical Survey of India (PI: Dr Avishek

Bhattacharjee). Lakhs of Indian farmers/ growers were benefited in exporting

Agarwood after India increased the quota for exports, which was notified on the CITES

website in May, 2024. Based on the report, the government also established ‘zero’

export quota of Agarwood from the wild.

 

 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 assisted to prevent Government of India to include 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).

 Four proposals to amend the main volume of the ‘International Code of

Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN)’ were included in ‘Madrid Code’

(Turland & al., 2025).

 Three proposals (Art. 40A.6, 9B.2, 7.11 Ex. 14) to amend the main volume of the

‘International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN)’ were included

(most probably for the first time from India) in ‘Shenzhen Code’ (Turland & al., 2018).

 

 Among the 19 taxa listed under the Schedule III of ‘THE WILDLIFE (PROTECTION)

AMENDMENT ACT, 2022’ of Govt. of India, 7 species [Aenhenrya rotundifolia (Blatt.)

C.S. Kumar & F.N. Rasm., Odontochilus grandiflorus (Lindl.) Benth. ex Hook. f.,

Odontochilus tetrapterus (Hook. f.) Av. Bhattacharjee & H.J. Chowdhery, Podophyllum

hexandrum Royle, Rhomboda pulchra (King & Pantl.) Ormerod & Av. Bhattacharjee,

Vrydagzynea viridiflora Hook. f., Zeuxine andamanica King & Pantl.] were included

based on my proposal through the Botanical Survey of India.

 Prepared comments (India’s stand) on plant related agenda items for 70th meeting of

Standing Committee of CITES held at Sochi, Russia (from 1st to 4th October, 2018)

which were accepted by Govt. of India.

 Prepared comments (India’s stand) on plant related Agenda Items for CITES CoP18

held in Geneva, Switzerland (17 to 28 August 2019) which were accepted by Govt. of

India.

ON GOING OTHER PROJECTS:  Flora India

 COMPLETED PROJECTS:

1.      Flora of India: A detailed description of the family Elaeagnaceae in India was prepared with 2 genera with 15 species.

2.      Preparation of Checklist: Checklist of 2 families (Elaeagnaceae and Chloranthaceae) Chloranthaceae (5 members) and Elaeagnaceae (15 members) with brief nomenclature citation and geographic distribution has been prepared

3.      Studies on natural dye from some selected plants of West Bengal for dyeing cotton fabrics (2019-2020): The present work was designed to study the effect of five (5) commonly occuring plants Dimocarpus longan, Rivina humulis, Ixora coccina,  Cuscuta reflexa and Lagerstroemia speciosa for their potential to be used as dye source for cotton fabric. The effects of different mordants were also noted in three different dyeing procedures. A total of 24 dyed cloth samples were produced and the colour fastness to washing was also studied. Ixora coccina were suitable as natural dye yielding plants. The different mordants used in this study also resulted in a gradient of colours obtained; especially iron and myrobalan yielded more darker colours.

4.      Interpretation of Roxburgh’s Icon, Family Poaceae (2017-2019)

5.      Interpretation of Roxburgh’s Icon, Family Ebenaceae (2017-2018)

6.      Interpretation of Roxburgh’s Icon, Family Cucurbitaceae and Convolvulaceae (2015-2017)
