Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Saturday reviewed various flower species at his residence complex, including tulips, which he had personally planted a few days ago and underscored the state government's focus on promoting horticulture and floriculture as a key sector for economic growth.
Speaking on the occasion, Dhami emphasised the government's continuous efforts to boost horticulture and flower cultivation in the state.
"Flower farming, including the cultivation of tulips, is gaining momentum in Uttarakhand. Many farmers have taken up large-scale tulip farming, significantly increasing their income. There is a growing demand for these flowers across the country," said CM Dhami, according to a release.
The Chief Minister highlighted the immense potential for floriculture in Uttarakhand, noting that the government is actively working to expand the sector. He said various initiatives, including technical support and market linkage programs, are being introduced to encourage farmers to adopt flower farming as a profitable venture.
