| J&K Seed Bank |
The Jammu and Kashmir Medicinal Plants Introduction Center is constructing a special depot at Glacier Cave in Pahalgam to preserve the seeds of all crops around the world.
The thousands of seeds stored on this glacier will be used by the bank in the event of a catastrophic disaster or nuclear war in the world and crop damage.
The cave was built to protect the seeds stored in the event of a nuclear war or natural disaster.
The Jammu and Kashmir Medicinal Plants Introduction Center will set up an observatory in a cave on this glacier gene to create a 'seed bank'.
In this regard, the Jammu and Kashmir Medical Plants Introduction Center has also decided to send a proposal to the Government of Jammu and Kashmir.
Sheikh Gulzar, a volunteer at the institute, said the seeds of all the world's crops would be kept in the cave.
Sheikh Gulzar said that there are 1,400 such seed banks in the world at present but they are all located in places where there is either political instability or in places where there is a risk of natural disasters.
The temperature of the plugs will help keep these seeds safe. The walls of the bank will be made of lightweight concrete and its doors will be made of special iron sheets.
Availability of planting material, tree saplings, herb seed, flower seeds, fruit plants, creepers & climbers, medicinal herbs, herbal roots,
crude drugs, bulbs, tree bark, herbal tea, corms, rhizomes, stem tubers
& root tubers, aromatic plants.
