WELCOME:
Greetings from Organizing committee RASHTCP-2016!
We are pleased to cordially invite you to the DBT sponsored National Conference of
emerging Herbal Technology Research 2016 (ICCAR 2016) from 9th to 10th September
2016 at our University.
We are organizing the NATIONAL SEMINAR ON “RECENT ADVANCES AND SCOPE
IN HERBAL TECHNOLOGY: CHALLENGES AND PROSPECT” 9-10th September
2016. The purpose of this seminar is to encourage active participation of young scholars of
our Nation to display their progress and research potentials in herbal technology research.
Through this, we would get the opportunity to invite reputed scientist of the country to
encourage young researchers.
Proposed seminar will focus to develop herbal technology towards the benefit of human
being of society through prepare safe and cost-effective medicine. It will highlight the
biotechnology-oriented nutraceuticals development and emphasize the emerging importance
of herbal food, prebiotics and probiotics, natural colours, bio-fuels, bio-fertilizers, and bioadsorbent in daily life with a successful approach. In this context, we believe that the
proposed seminar will relate the biotechnological development and explore booming
renaissance with the tools of medicinal and aromatic plants.
The main objective of the Conference is to create linkages among the scientists, Pharmaceutical &
Chemical Industries. Researchers, Drugs regulatory bodies for development of drugs, drug carriers, foods,
natural colors, bio-fuels, bio-adsorbents, fertilizers, pesticides from herbal sources. Since, Silchar is one
of the biodiversity hotspots in the world where huge varieties of flora and fauna are available, the
conference will be aiming mostly at enriching the present scenario of development of drugs and other
pharmaceutical agents from herbs for the benefit of society and the nation.
Please join us in 9-10th September 2016 in Assam University, Silchar, India.

ABOUT THE SEMINAR:
ADVISORY
Herbal
technology, especially on medicine development, is the oldest system of medical
COMMITTEE:
science
in the world including India. Nowadays, this technology has emphasized emerging
role to produce natural dyes, nutraceuticals, bio adsorbent, bio fertilizers, bio pesticides, etc.
The modern concept of herbal medicine development has explored by introducing rapid LCMS and preparative HPLC-based separation and characterization of bioactive herbal fractions
and isolated phytocompounds. High-throughput robotic screening of those fractions for
ethnopharmacological investigation and herbal adjuvants for successful drug delivery, insilico drug design from phyto-molecules etc are pioneer approaches. The outcome of such
effort has developed pioneer herbal medicine such as aspirin (from willow bark), digoxin
(from foxglove), quinine (from cinchona bark), and morphine (from the opium poppy), taxol
(taxus brevifolia), vincristine (vinca flowers), curcumin (turmeric rhizome) like
phytocompounds to manage inflammation, pain, cancer disorders. Ginseng, Withania
somnifera, Ginkgo biloba, St John's wort, tulsi, gulancha have applied as adoptogen,
antidiabetic, and antidepressants. There are many polyherbal formulations, like Triphala
Churna, muci-bael, Health booster tonic and skin ointments containing Aloe-Vera, Arnica,
Calendula, Haritaki, Amalaki, Fenugreek, Medicago sativa, Euphorbia hirta etc have
launched in the market. This year, Nobel Prize in medicine has been awarded to three
scientists for their pioneer discovery of artemisinin from herbal plants (Artemisia annua) for
the effective treatment management against roundworm and malaria. Herbs derived different
nutraceuticals like prebiotics and probiotics, vitamins, hormone, aminoacids and PUFA helps
to fight and prevent against infectious diseases and ageing processes. Herbal nutraceuticals
provide those metabolomes as prophylactic or preventive agents, in contrast to drugs, which
are active chemical substances used for pre-protection or to treat an illness. As per WHO,
over 80% world’s population (4.3 billion people) rely upon such traditional plant-based
systems of medicine as phytochemicals, nutritional constituents or as functional foods. Herbs
derived macro and micronutrients, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, amino acids, vitamins or
minerals necessary for normal metabolism play a crucial role to prevent the diseases and act
as a health booster, growth supplements. Herbs derived nutraceuticals agents, used in the
commercial market are Vitamin C, E and carotenoids, lycopene, resveratrol, soa-been foods,
chywanprash, inulin prebiotics, spirulina probiotics etc. Utilisation and application of herbs
derived natural colouring agent, bio-fuels, bio-fertilizers, bio-pesticides and bio-adsorbent
plays an important role to develop modern technology oriented civilisation. Numerous herbs
like Achyranthes aspera, mentha, banana, and Emblica officinalis, due to adsorbent
phytochemicals are being evoked in removing the polluting and toxic heavy metals ion
from foods, waste waters and drinking water. Dry neem seed extract, curcuminoids gave
100% inhibition of mycelial growth. Curcuminoids, the major colouring constituents of
Curcuma longa (turmeric) rhizome powder, comprise of three related curcumins (I–III).
Citronellal oil has used for controlling the pests and insects. Vitex negundo is being used for
pest control. Natural pure colouring matter extracted from numerous herbs like hibiscus
rosasinensis, marigold, curcuma longa, tomato, henna, jatropha are used into different
pharmaceutical medicine, food preparations, colouring of the biocompatible industrial
product etc. Aim: 1. to encourage active participation of young scholars of our nation 2. To
showcase their progress and give an opportunity to exhibit their research potentials in herbal
technology. 3. To arrange an auspicious gathering of reputed scientist of our country to
encourage young researchers. 4. To explore awareness of numerous herbal skills for
technology development among academicians.
