Party-govt synergy takes centre stage as BJP plans anniv celebrations
Bhubaneswar: CM Mohan Charan Majhi and state BJP president Manmohan Samal on Monday emphasised the importance of synergy between the party and govt as BJP prepares to celebrate the first anniversary of Majhi govt here and 11 years of the Modi regime at the Centre through a massive outreach programme. "The organisation gives strength to the govt, and both must work in tandem to serve people effectively," Majhi said, highlighting the importance of coordinated efforts in implementing welfare schemes and development initiatives. Samal lauded the Majhi govt's "remarkable milestones" in its first year. "Our govt has endeared itself to the people through swift implementation of manifesto promises and efficient grievance redressal," Samal said at a preparatory workshop for the anniversary celebrations with the party's organisational units. The BJP plans a series of activities to connect with one crore families across the state from June 9, when Modi took oath for the third term, till June 25, the day marking 50 years of the national emergency proclaimed on June 25, 1975. Senior BJP leader Samir Mohanty, who is convenor of the anniversary celebration committee, said there is a focus on the convergence of govt and party activities wherever possible. The double engine BJP govt's achievements, Modi's strategic actions, Majhi govt's performance, and comparison with previous Congress and BJD govts would be among the key highlights during the two weeks of activities. People's feedback would further guide the party for the future, he said. The campaign will also highlight the state's success in attracting investments and ensuring balanced regional development. The key message to drive home about the Majhi govt is, "Barsha Eka, Safalata Aneka (Year one, achievements many)," he said. Apart from highlighting the key milestones achieved, the Majhi govt will unveil its Vision 2036 and 2047 documents on June 12, his anniversary day. The documents will spell out milestones to be achieved in the current term of the govt as well, govt sources said. The party plans to conduct press conferences comparing their governance model with previous Congress and BJD administrations while strengthening its organisational base through enhanced party-govt coordination. BJP Odisha in-charge Vijaypal Singh Tomar and co-in-charge Lata Usendi also addressed party office-bearers. Several Union ministers are expected to participate in public meetings across major cities.

Bhaderwah in terrorist-infested Doda district of J and K turning into Lavender cultivation hub
New Delhi, June 2 (UNI) Bhaderwah town in terrorist-infested Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir is witnessing a 'fragrant revolution' from obscurity to Lavender production 'adding fragrance" to the hills with young entrepreneurs involved in Lavender cultivation and earning over Rs 65 Lakh annually. Science and Technology Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh, while inaugurating a two-day Lavender Festival 2025 in Bhaderwah, said Lavender had given the small town a national identity and also a national role in India's economic growth, an official spokesman here said. He also addressed skepticism around India's economic resilience amid aggressive defence postures. 'Despite challenging times and operations like Operation Sindoor, India's economy has not only remained buoyant but also grown. That is a fitting reply to skeptics,' he asserted. He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had boosted the Startup Movement and introduced Bhaderwah's Purple Revolution to the world through a detailed mention in his 'Mann Ki Baat'. 'When the Prime Minister dedicated nearly ten minutes in his 'Mann Ki Baat' to talk about this Lavender mission in detail, it gave the best possible global introduction to Bhaderwah — one that we couldn't have imagined,' Dr. Jitendra Singh said. Fifty distillation units were operational in Bhaderwah, supplying Lavender products to Maharashtra and other states, he said, lauding the Agri-Startup model of Lavender farming as a transformative force that has rewritten the narrative of entrepreneurship in remote and hilly terrains. The model has not only attracted attention from neighbouring states like Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, but also from the North-Eastern states. 'Bhaderwah, once a quiet hilly town, is now a beacon of India's rural startup revolution. Lavender has not just added fragrance to these mountains—it has added identity, income, and inspiration.' 'This single mission has answered multiple challenges,' Dr Jitendra Singh said, adding 'it busted the myth that startups are limited to IT or require foreign degrees. Our youth in Jammu and Kashmir, in collaboration with CSIR-IIIM, have shown that passion, perseverance, and learning can build sustainable ventures rooted in agriculture.' He said young entrepreneurs in Bhaderwah are earning an average of Rs 65 lakh annually through lavender cultivation and value-added products, motivating many others to leave conventional jobs and pursue farming as a lucrative business opportunity. 'This is a new paradigm the world is witnessing -- a rural, agriculture-based startup revolution that is both scalable and sustainable,' he said. He said sectors like Lavender cultivation would further fuel India's rise. These unexplored areas, when empowered, would become pillars of value addition and employment generation. UNI RB SSP
