Srinagar:  Union Minister of Science and Technology Jitendra Singh has inaugurated the 'Lavender Festival' in Bhaderwah region of Jammu and Kashmir.

It is the first time such an incident is being hosted by the country.

Addressing the event, Singh told ANI, "Bhaderwah is the potential destination of agri-tech startups of the country. Lavender Festival in the valley of Bhaderwah is the best example of the development of the present progressive government at the centre. Bhaderwah is the best place for lavender cultivation in terms of land and climate."

The Minister said that the development prospects of PM Modi-led government for the far-flung areas like Bhaderwah can also be judged from the fact that the country's first National Institute of High Altitude Medicine is being built in Bhaderwah which will attract scholars and researchers not only from India but across the globe generating employment opportunities for the region.

Referring to the lavender cultivation in the region, Singh said "Lavender is an avenue of employment generation and research opening many paradigms of development for the region."
