Saraca asoca (Family - Fabaceae) is well-known medicinal tree species used in codified and non-codified systems of traditional medicine. Tree parts, viz., bark, flower, leaf, root and fruit, are used to treat various disorders. A huge number of pharmaceutical products were prepared using bark as one of the major ingredients. Ashoka tree is categorized as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and endangered by the Conservation Assessment and Management Plan (CAMP) due to its overexploitation and limited distribution. Unsustainable utilization, deforestation and climate changes are the major threats to the existence of the species. Aiming at the conservation of the Ashoka tree, ample research works were performed to standardize the micropropagation techniques. The present chapter discusses the efforts made towards conservation and micropropagation studies on the Ashoka tree.
