The programme was held on September 24, 2026, under the leadership of Prof. (Vaidya) Pradeep Kumar Prajapati, Director, AIIA, and Colonel Mohan Singh, Commanding Officer, 132 Infantry Battalion (Territorial Army) ECO RAJPUT.

Under the collaborative initiative, 10,000 Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal) saplings will be planted and subjected to scientific monitoring.

The planning and implementation of the plantation initiative between the two organisations was coordinated by Major Jai Singh Shekhawat of 132 Infantry Battalion (Territorial Army) ECO RAJPUT and Major (Dr.) Ashish Kumar of AIIA.

The 132 Infantry Battalion (Territorial Army) ECO RAJPUT has been engaged in plantation and restoration activities in areas affected and degraded by mining.

The Terriers Herbal Garden already houses around 200 species of medicinal and Ayurvedic significance, which have been planted and conserved.
