taking keen interest in Sandalwood cultivation. The plantations that are being
grown would ultimately be the hub of activity for commercial utilisation as well as
from research perspective. Therefore, the proactive participation of people in
Sandalwood cultivation will not only conserve our precious Sandalwood, but also
help in reviving the lost glory of Indian Sandalwood in the international market.
