Sandal wood in Karnataka paragraph

Answer 1

the sandalwood forest region of Karnataka, the city of Mysore is renowned for its production of the fragrant sandalwood products and is commonly referred of as the sandalwood city of Karnataka. Mysore sandalwood is reputed all over the world for its quality and fragrance. The twigs and the bark of the semi parasitic sandalwood tree are used to produce various products like cosmetics, perfumes, incense sticks, essential oils and powered talc. The tree is also of herbal and medicinal value. The soap industry has profited through the production of the Mysore Sandal Soap that has created a niche for itself in the international market.

Answer 2

Karnataka is known as the citadel of sandalwood (“Gandhada Gudi” in Kannada). Now tissue-culture technology, developed specially for sandalwood propagation by the city-based Institute of Wood Science and Technology (IWST), has helped the State become the largest supplier of tissue culture saplings of this aromatic tree in the country. Propagation of saplings has already begun on a large scale.

According to the Head of Tree Improvement and Propagation Division of the IWST, T.S. Rathore, in the past, the felling of sandalwood trees by smugglers had become so widespread that the indigenous needs for sandalwood had to be met by imports.
