From the valleys of #Bhaderwah to global markets, the #PurpleRevolution led by @CSIRIIIM is transforming lives, turning #lavender into a powerful symbol of innovation, sustainability, and rural prosperity. What was once an ornamental plant has now emerged as a high-value crop, offering farmers a reliable and profitable alternative livelihood.

Driven by scientific intervention, policy support, and grassroots participation, this revolution reflects the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s #AatmanirbharBharat and is being actively advanced under the leadership of Hon’ble Union Minister and Vice President, CSIR, @DrJitendraSingh. Today, Bhaderwah stands recognised as India’s Lavender Capital—an achievement rooted in research, resilience, and farmer empowerment.

This is not just the success story of a crop, but of a region redefining its future through science-led #agriculture under the #AromaMission and #FloricultureMission.
