Bhaderwah’s Lavender Revolution Brings Hope to Hill Farmers

A remarkable transformation is unfolding in the hills of Bhaderwah, where farmers are embracing lavender cultivation under the CSIR Aroma Mission. Families in Raie hamlet of Shiva Panchayat, who shifted from traditional maize farming to lavender, are now anticipating a bumper harvest and improved livelihoods.
