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

Samantha Armytage's estranged husband Richard Lavender reportedly offered spot on revamped Farmer Wants a Wife
Samantha Armytage's ex-employer Channel 7 is reportedly 'determined' to lock in her estranged husband Richard Lavender for a revamp of Farmer Wants a Wife. Armytage, 48, announced her separation from Lavender, 61, in December just weeks before their fourth wedding anniversary. The split came months after Armytage's equally shocking professional separation from Seven in favour of a plum new gig hosting The Golden Bachelor on rival Channel 9. The Golden Bachelor is a new twist on the popular Bachelor dating franchise and will see a group of older Australians competing for the hearts of Barry 'Bear' Myrden, a widower in his 50s from Manly in Sydney's Northern Beaches. Seven is reportedly planning to revamp the 2026 season of Farmer Wants a Wife Australia – which Armytage previously hosted – to feature older farmers and take on the Golden Bachelor head on. According to a Seven production source who spoke to New Idea magazine on Monday, Armytage's estranged husband is at the top of the casting list. 'Production doesn't want the format becoming stale, and they're desperate to give the show a fresh new look and format in a bid to rival its growing competitors,' the source said. 'Channel Seven is determined to convince former Farmer host Samantha Armytage's ex-husband Richard Lavender to front a Golden Farmer series.' The source claimed that Armytage would likely see the move as an insult, especially after Lavender shunned the spotlight throughout his marriage to the ex-Sunrise host. 'Sam wouldn't love the idea of Richard being involved in Farmer, in fact she would probably see it as a bit of an insult, but she is the one that had him pose for magazine covers and put his name in the spotlight, he's of interest because of his high profile marriage and separation to Sam,' the source said. The split shocked some industry insiders, especially after Armytage herself told Woman's Day that she quit her role hosting breakfast television show Sunrise to live at Lavender's 40-hectare estate in New South Wales' Southern Highlands. Following the break up, sources told Daily Mail Australia that a contributing factor to the split was allegedly tension between Lavender's adult children and Armytage. It is understood the TV star has left the countryside and decamped back to Sydney's eastern suburbs amid her divorce.

Lavender gave small J&K town of Bhaderwah national identity, role in India's economic growth: Jitendra Singh
New Delhi [India], June 1 (ANI): Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh praised the Agri-Startup model of Lavender farming as a transformative force that has rewritten the narrative of entrepreneurship in remote and hilly terrains, saying that Lavender has given the small J&K town of Bhaderwah a national identity and also a national role in India's economic growth. '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,' said Singh while inaugurating 2-day Lavender festival 2025 organized by CSIR- IIIM Jammu in Bhaderwah town of Jammu. 'This single mission has answered multiple challenges,'Jitendra Singh said, 'It busted the myth that StartUps are limited to IT or require foreign degrees. Our youth in Jammu & Kashmir, in collaboration with CSIR-IIIM, have shown that passion, perseverance, and learning can build sustainable ventures rooted in agriculture.' He proudly shared that young entrepreneurs in Bhaderwah are earning an average of Rs 65 lakhs annually through lavender cultivation and value-added products, motivating many others to leave conventional jobs and pursue farming as a lucrative business opportunity, according to the Ministry of Science & Technology. Jitendra Singh credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for introducing Bhaderwah and the Purple Revolution to the national stage. '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,' Singh said. The Minister emphasised that it was PM Modi's vision of StartUp India and StandUp India, announced from the ramparts of the Red Fort, that ignited the entrepreneurial spirit in regions that previously needed long explanations to justify their existence on the developmental map. Singh revealed that there are currently 50 distillation units operational in Bhaderwah, with lavender-derived products being supplied to markets in Maharashtra and other states. The model has not only attracted attention from neighboring states like Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, but also from the North-Eastern states, whose representatives were present at the festival to gain first-hand insights. 'This is a new paradigm the world is witnessing - a rural, agriculture-based startup revolution that is both scalable and sustainable,' he remarked. Another myth that Jitendra Singh addressed was the misconception that StartUps are only for the young. He shared that a special exhibition featuring 60+ age group entrepreneurs will be showcased in the next edition of the festival. Drawing a broader economic context, Singh said, 'India has moved from the 5th largest to the 4th largest economy, and sectors like lavender cultivation will further fuel our rise. These unexplored areas, when empowered, will become pillars of value addition and employment generation.' He also addressed skepticism around India's economic resilience amid aggressive defence postures. 'Despite challenging times and operations like Sindoor, India's economy has not only remained buoyant but also grown. That is a fitting reply to skeptics,' he asserted. Concluding his address, Singh praised Dr Zabeer and the CSIR-IIIM team for organizing an unprecedented event in Bhaderwah that drew visitors from all over India. He invited everyone to visit the lavender fields over the next 10-15 days during peak bloom and hear directly from the entrepreneurs themselves. (ANI)
