But most people do not know the benefits of these herbs. Hence this awareness meeting is conducted free of charge for the students in many schools. Students especially  agriculture students should know the herbs well and take them to the people to help them get medical facility at low cost. The medical benefits of herbs were innovated by Sidhars several thousand years back.
The students can grow the herbs in their areas. When they get to know a certain herb well and utilize its medicinal properties, they can get enormous wealth. They can also become big industrialists especially when they produce and export medicines from herbs.
