| Abstract | In general, Orchids are known for their strikingly beautiful flowers of the different size range, fascinating shapes, and beautiful colours. They belong to a family Orchidaceae, which has outsmarted and outnumbered some other family of flowering plants by evolving higher levels of specialization in its vegetative and reproductive traits. North-East India is a part of The Himalayas as well as Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot, as a result of which this region is fascinating for researchers. North-East India has the richest reservoir of plant diversity in India and Indian orchids are mostly confined to the North-Eastern region and the Western Ghatsconstituting about 1378 species and about 890 species are found in North-East India. Nagaland, one of the states of North-East India contributes significantly with about 396 species of 92 genera to family Orchidaceae which occupies a prominent place in the rich flora, many more being added later. Unfortunately, in recent years excessive human intervention has led to the rapid decline of floral diversity and orchids being intolerant to slight changes in microclimates have experienced a massive decline in population. All orchid species are thereby included under Annex B of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and subsequently, all Paphiopedilum species (Lady's slippers) are listed under Appendix I of CITES. The need for conservation both in-situ and ex-situ is necessitated therein for further sustainable utilization of this rich resource. The present study was thus undertaken to document orchid resource of three districts of Nagaland viz., Kiphire, Tuensang and Zunheboto and mass multiplication and conservation of two horticulturally important and threatened orchid species viz., Paphiopedilum insigne (Wallich ex Lindley) Pfitzer and Paphiopedilum villosum var. boxallii (Reichenbach fil.) Pfitzer is commonly known as Lady's slipper of which 9 species of the genera are found in India, 8 species restricted to Eastern Himalaya and North-East |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
