Interview with Mr Rana, the pradhan or head of Niti village, the last village on Indo-Tibet border. Trying to understand the culture and traditions of this migratory village which was once rich and prosperous.

It intrigued me to know more about them. Though most of them are Ayurveda medicine, it was interesting to know that, in spite of their traditional and historical use in rituals, the priest was unaware of their medicinal uses. As a
routine, I had informed them about some safe medicinal uses in a bid to promote, Information exchange of traditional knowledge & to preserve biodiversity by encouraging sustainable picking. A small overview.
