In that connection, TOSKAR has prepared a blue print for the area to be developed in a phased manner and submitted to the Department for necessary action.

It was attended by Director of Horticulture and other officials, members of Lalbagh Development Committee, Executive Committee members and Dr. S. N. Hegde of TOSKAR. During the programme, objectives and also route map for development of the proposed orchidarium was explained to the audience by President of TOSKAR.
