Kalam’s vision gave Rashtrapati Bhavan its herbal garden

The herbal garden of Rashtrapati Bhavan, which consists of a large number of medicinal and aromatic plants, owes its existence to the vision of APJ Abdul Kalam. The former president roped in Lucknow-based Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants CIMAP to realise his dream. The institute supplied and planted all the medicinal plants in the herbal garden.
