Abstract:

Govt.Gramya Bharti College at Hardibazar, Korba, Chhattisgarh, India conducted a survey on the diversity of medicinal plants. The M.Sc. students' observations and field visits to every location on our college campus served as the basis for this survey. A total of 70 species medicinal plants were identified during the survey tour. This survey's primary goal is to gather information on the medicinal plants that can be found on our college campus in order to protect its priceless bio-resources. Following the field study, observed medicinal plants were identified, and existing literature was sought for information on their therapeutic applications. 46 families include the total of 70 species of medicinal plants that have been recognized. 35 of the 70 kinds of medicinal plants were trees, 13 were shrubs, and 18 were herbaceous. The college campus was found to have a high concentration of plants belonging to the Fabaceae family, totaling 05 plants, and a second largest plant family, the Rutaceae family, with 03 plants detected. Numerous medical qualities found in all these plants include anti-bacterial, anticancer, anti-diabetic, antiviral, antifungal, antidote, anthelminthic, and anti-analgesic effects. They can also be used to treat skin conditions, snakebite, ulcers, diarrhoea, cough, and colds. Owing to the vast therapeutic qualities of the plants under assessment, certain valuable species that are vulnerable to these risks are being added to the list of "endangered plants." We hope that this survey will be useful to the forthcoming batches of M.Sc. students, as they can receive some ideas and information about medicinal plants of GramyaBharti College campus. After a few decades, certain precious plants may disappear in our college campus due to those threats.
