Viz., Genetics & Plant   Breeding, Agronomy, Plant Physiology and Phytochemistry. Basically to strengthen and complement ICAR supported coordinated/network research project on  MAP.

• To collect & conserve of those species whose availability (from wild) is fast dwindling.
• To conduct basic research on those aspects of the crops which are relevant and concurrently to carry out applied research for overall improvement of the M&AP crops.
• To develop high quality materials of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants through crop improvement and crop physiological aspects.
• To introduce and develop the agro technology of new Medicinal & Aromatic plants  which  have potential for commercial cultivation in Gujarat.
• To study the biochemical parameters of different Medicinal plants through phytochemical analysis.
• To establish Medicinal and Aromatic plants garden for informations and to provide seed/planting material for needy farmers.

To train needy farmers for agro technology of new adopted M&AP crops and value added quality processing materials.
