Assam Inaugurates First Seed Conservation Gene Bank in Titabor

Assam Inaugurates First Seed Conservation Gene Bank in Titabor

Imagine a special storage room for seeds, like a library for plants, built in Assam!

This new place, called a gene bank, is like a safe place for seeds of different crops, including rice, fruits, and vegetables.

It's like a time capsule for plants!

The gene bank can keep seeds safe for up to 15 years.

Before this, farmers had to grow rice every year to get new seeds, but now they can get high-quality seeds when they need them.

This will help farmers and scientists who study plants and help protect old types of plants from disappearing.

The seeds even have special codes that help people find out all about them!
