The majority of agricultural workers in India are enthusiastic about it however, due to a lack of technical understanding, they are unable to practise it .To generate profit from sandalwood trees one has to wait for almost 10-15 years.In this aspect,the Central Soil and Salinity Research Institute has launched an endeavour to grow high-quality sandalwood plants. Scientists are currently doing study on this topic in order to help farmers maximise their profits from sandalwood growing in a short period of time. For your knowledge, sandalwood is utilised in a variety of auspicious tasks, including worship. As a result, both the demand and price of sandalwood rise dramatically in the market.
