About RCFC North-1
About our organisation

RCFC operations are entirely structured around supporting the medicinal plant ecosystem.

 

 

Regional cum Facilitation Centre for North Indian States [RCFC (NR-I)] of National Medicinal Plants Board has been established at Research Institute of Indian System of Medicine, Joginder Nagar, District Mandi, Himachal Pradesh in October 2017. It provides a platform to all stakeholders of Medicinal Plants sector in 7 Northern States viz., Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal, Delhi, and Chandigarh. The first task was to understand the issues of supply/value chain of medicinal plants sector and understand the success stories, gaps/challenges faced by the SMPBs, Farmers, academicians, Traders and other stakeholders. The gaps so studied came out as the intervention areas for the development of the sector in the region. RCFC (NR-I) started bringing together all stakeholders together under one roof through convergence and started dialogues. Necessary steps to fill the gaps such as collection from wild/cultivation, harvesting, post harvest management, processing, and value addition at source, product development and marketing linkage with the farmer/collectors in the region were initiated through various interventions. RCFC (NR-I) facilitated the collaboration with the stakeholders and carried forward the mandate of NMPB for certification and promotion of e-Charak for marketing and knowledge sharing in Medicinal Plants sector. A strong network of stakeholders has been created in the region involving all stakeholders. State wise listing of stakeholders has been done and regular information is shared with them through monthly newsletter. We have been receiving regular calls from stakeholders daily and they are connected to each other there and then. Issues related to Post harvest management, marketing, product development, QPM are resolved.
