Niquehat Noor, Rama Kanta Mishra, Sandeep Kumar Nayak, Ashirbad Mohapatra and Kunja Bihari Satapathy rock the world of Biodiversity, while International Media reports confirmed their recognition on World’s 500 Most Influential Biodiversitologists for Year 2015 on Earth. Niquehat Noor, Rama Kanta Mishra, Sandeep Kumar Nayak, Ashirbad Mohapatra and Kunja Bihari Satapathy are awarded with International Biodiversity Award-2014. In a high profile international competition flooded with thousands of participants from several countries, India has once again proved it’s leadership in the area. Niquehat Noor, Rama Kanta Mishra, Sandeep Kumar Nayak, Ashirbad Mohapatra and Kunja Bihari Satapathy won the meritorious competition and established the international leadership in Biodiversity. International Agency for Standards and Ratings expressed it’s views that Niquehat Noor, Rama Kanta Mishra, Sandeep Kumar Nayak, Ashirbad Mohapatra and Kunja Bihari Satapathy’s efforts will explore tremendous opportunities in this segment leading it to new height. It is surely a matter of pride for civilians of India to have such brain storming intellectuals for close interaction. India has once again confirmed a rich tradition to produce world renowned intellectuals to benefit international society.
Niquehat Noor passed M.Sc and M.Phil in Botany from Utkal University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha with specialization in Plant Taxonomy and ethnnbotany. Presently she is working as a Research Scholar under the Maulana Azad National Fellowship of U.G.C and pursuing her Ph.D work at P.G Department of Botany , Utkal University, Vani Vihar, Bhubaneswar, India
Ramakanta Mishra passed M.Sc and M.Phil in Botany from Utkal University, Bhubaneswar, India, having specialization in Plant Taxonomy. At present he is pursuing his Ph.D course work in Utkal University, Bhubaneswar.
Sandeep Kumar Nayak passed M. Sc and M. Phil in Botany and pursuing Ph.D under guidance of Dr. K.B. Satapathy in P.G. Department of Botany, Utkal University, Bhubaneswar, India.
Dr. Ashirbad Mohapatra completed M.Sc. and Ph.D degree from Utkal University. He is presently working as faculty member in the Department of Botany, S.J. College of Education and Technology, Bhubaneswar.
Dr. K.B. Satapathy, completed his Ph. D and D. Sc from Utkal University . Presently he is holding the position of the Head of the P.G. Department of Botany, Utkal University, Bhubaneswar, India. To his credit he has more than thirty years of research experience in different aspect of plant science.
Niquehat Noor, Rama Kanta Mishra, Sandeep Kumar Nayak, Ashirbad Mohapatra and Kunja Bihari Satapathy from India made a historical victory over the international competition and won International Biodiversity Award-2014. Their research was highlighted in international media and gathered a large worldwide attention in scientific circles while it appeared in world's most read journal 'The Journal of Biodiversity'. In their report on Documentation of medicinal plants in Sikharchandi hills, Odisha, India – A priority agenda for action they mention that The floristic diversity is the natural resource and wealth of a region and acquiring knowledge of it is of immense scientific and commercial importance. An extensive field survey was conducted in order to assess the floristic composition with special reference to the medicinal plant diversity, the distributional pattern of the plant species and their present status of vulnerability in Sikharchandi hills, Odisha, India during 2012-13. A total of 220 angiosperms and 4 pteridophytes were collected belonging to 180 genera and distributed under 69 different families. 110 species of medicinal plants under 103 genera and 53 families were recorded and information about their uses in the management of primary healthcare was documented. Among them, 39 were herbs followed by 32 trees, 19 climbers, 15 shrubs, 3 grasses and 2 parasites. Euphorbiaceae was the dominant family with 11 species followed by Fabaceae (8), Rutaceae (6) and Lamiaceae (5). Phyllanthus and Ocimum were the dominant genera with 3 species each. The present study revealed that many valuable medicinal plants and wild relatives of cultivated species are present in Sikharchandi hills played a significant role in the conservation of biodiversity of this region. Further studies on the potential medicinal plants identified during the investigation may result in isolation and formulation of herbal drugs after scientific authentication. Under their leadership the research area is surely likely to expand beyond the horizons. It will be worthy to explore the further potential under their legacy. Niquehat Noor, Rama Kanta Mishra, Sandeep Kumar Nayak, Ashirbad Mohapatra and Kunja Bihari Satapathy as valuable intellectuals for the India offer exclusive opportunities for scholars around the world. One of the most attractive weightage for India is to have the awardees for promotion of the concerned scientific discipline for the benefit of its civilians. Thus India which has excellent track record to produce brain storming intellectuals, has offered a new extension in terms of Niquehat Noor, Rama Kanta Mishra, Sandeep Kumar Nayak, Ashirbad Mohapatra and Kunja Bihari Satapathy to world.
The present investigations highlighted that Sikharchandi not only harbours a rich floral diversity, but also a repository of wild germplasm, thereby supporting many critically dependent medicinal plants. It was also observed that being a natural sacred site it is maintained through traditional methods of community-based conservation without governmental involvement. Incorporating these sites into conservation networks could enhance the effectiveness of the protected areas by covering a wider variety of habitats and by harnessing the support of local people. However, with the passage of time, considerable changes have taken place under various pressures which are mostly human induced. Pressures include fragmentation, area shrinkage and degradation, habitat alternation, pollution, alien species invasion, cattle grazing, overexploitation of plant resources etc. The documented medicinal plant resources of the area need immediate conservation in order to avoid their disappearance. Their cultivation and domestication should be encouraged to prevent the extinction of potentially valuable species. The need of the hour is to aware people about its importance, involvement of people in its conservation and management and exploration of its potential in livelihood generation. Results of the present study are expected to create awareness among the present and future generations on the need and importance of conservation and management of the sacred sites as a treasure of biodiversity, hub of medicinal plants and floral gene pool of the state as well as the country.
The present study was an attempt to study the floristic diversity of a sacred hill with special reference to the medicinal plant resources by collecting the plant specimens, which were identified with authenticity and documentation of the information on their medicinal uses. Conservation of these plant resources need immediate attention since some of the potential plants used in pharmaceuticals are found to be ecologically vulnerable as regards to their declined population. Furthermore the information documented on disease-specific local uses of some selected plant species upon phyto-chemical screening may lead to discovery of new bio-active compounds for drug formulations.
Recently sacred hills are considered for their impact on conservation of biodiversity. The present study is an attempt to popularize the traditional knowledge of using native plants or their parts for the cure of different diseases. Efforts were taken to assess the level of threat in the medicinal plants in the sacred hill. Some of the potential plants documented during the present study which are used in ISM have got commercial significance.
