Delhi University and the Central Ayurveda Research Institute in New Delhi signed an agreement on 10 November to survey, identify and conserve plants of medicinal interest on the university’s North Campus. The Ministry of Ayush announced the agreement on 12 November.

The survey will cover the roughly 250 to 300 acres of North Campus. Researchers plan to document species described in Ayurveda and preserve reference specimens in a herbarium.

The project also plans to put up signs with QR codes to help visitors identify plants, and to publish an illustrated campus guide and joint research papers.
