The Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, in collaboration with the Department of AYUSH, has established a valuable collection of plants of academic and toxicological importance. The plants are nourished and cared for throughout the year. This addition to the Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology has enriched the learning abilities of both undergraduate and postgraduate students at AIIMS, Jodhpur. This blog page is created to help people know more about the various poisonous plants present around us, which are encountered on a daily basis. Each plant has a unique QR code, which, when scanned, gives the visitor a wide range of important information about the plant.
