Dear Pooja Ji

Salute to a well awared indian citizen.

Though few reports are available to extract latex from Parthenium spp. U try to extract fibre from  this plant. Simultasniously if facilities are available to prepare pulp and paper u can go ahead.People in India specially attached with concerned industry showed least interest in such R & D except their own.One latest report is there that Parthenium root is used in green medicin. U just get Parthenium uprooted and work on these three lines.

 thanking U with regards.

Subject: Parthenium Paper?

Dear Mr.Pankaj,
Hope you are well! My name is Pooja Kaoor and I live in Masinagudi
located
within the Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary. Over the past few years I
have been
observing the rapid spread of this weedc through these forests. I am
not a
scientist nor am I an enviromentalist...I am just a concerned
citizen and I
see a huge problem before us. The forest department has no clue as
to how to
deal with this menace.
I have been thinking about getting the local tribals to collect
parthenium
and making paper out of it. Is this a feasible option?

I do hope you can give me an answer to this querry.
Thanks and Regards
