Our forests are the backbone of our ecology, the rain providers, the green lungs for the remaining expanse of aridness, the wind breakers, and our soldiers against the elements. Furthermore, they are the repository of a wealth of products such as honey, medicinal plants, fruits etc. Khandige obtains organic honey and a variety of medicinal plants and herbs, grown in their natural conditions, such as amla, chebula, bellirica and other rare species which are in turn used for making organic ayurvedic formulations. The forest produce are harvested without disturbing the existing wildlife habitat and the principle of "collection rotation" is followed to facilitate biological propagation of the trees as per guidelines of sustainable Forest Management.
