From the valleys of Bhaderwah to global markets, the ‘Purple Revolution’ led by CSIR-IIIM 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 Narendra Modi’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat and is being actively advanced under the leadership of Hon’ble Union Minister and Vice President CSIR, Jitendra Singh. Today, Bhaderwah stands recognised as India’s Lavender Capital—an achievement rooted in research, resilience, and farmer empowerment.

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