Bhaderwah/Jammu: In a momentous declaration during the inauguration of the Lavender festival, Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh hailed Bhaderwah as the unparalleled Lavender capital of India and a burgeoning Agri Startup hub.

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.
