Entry form

Nature’s Pharmacy — October 2026

Papaya, turmeric, tulsi and Laxmi Taru leaves — all four in one entry. Free to enter, and entries close on 15 October 2026. What the competition is, and what makes each plant worth writing about.

IndianAgri is not the organiser. This form forwards your entry to Dr Manoj Tripathi at ICAR-CIAE Bhopal, copied to the Nutri-Ayur Innovative Research Foundation, and emails you the same text so you have your own record of it. If anything goes wrong at our end we will tell you in that email, in time to send it yourself.

All four plants are required. The organisers evaluate an entry on the description of all four, so a note on one plant alone is not marked. Work through them in any order — this page saves what you type in your own browser, so you can close it and come back.

Traditional knowledge *

Local and botanical name, the method of preparation or application as your source gives it, the benefit claimed, and any cultural or ritual significance.

Authentication with modern science *

What present-day studies show — and where they agree with the traditional claim and where they do not. This comparison is what the organisers are marking.

Send my entry and the details above to the organisers — Dr Manoj Tripathi (ICAR-CIAE Bhopal) and the Nutri-Ayur Innovative Research Foundation. IndianAgri keeps a copy only so the submission can be traced, and uses it for nothing else. *

You can also skip this form entirely and email your entry straight to tripathimanojo07@gmail.com — the organisers treat both the same way.
