Jammu &Kashmir’s Doda district to be recognised as role model in lavender farming: Union minister Jitendra Singh

Doda, 13/11: Union minister Jitendra Singh has said that Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district would be recognised as a role model in lavender farming owing to farmers cultivating the plant on a commercial scale there.

 

 

Singh chaired the district development coordination and monitoring committee (DISHA) meeting on Saturday to review the progress of various centrally sponsored schemes (CSS) being implemented in Doda district.

 

Singh said as farmers are taking up lavender cultivation on a commercial scale due to the high profits, Doda district would be branded as a role model in lavender farming.
