Expressing regret that the remarkable development in Bhaderwah had not been celebrated earlier, the Minister underscored the immense growth opportunities the valley presents for both lavender cultivation and agri-startups.

As the Lavender capital of India, Bhaderwah's ascent has not only brought recognition to the region but also opened up new horizons for economic prosperity and innovative advancements.
