Jitendra Singh Inaugurates 'Lavender Festival' in J&K
Union Minister Jitendra Singh inaugurated the two-day 'Lavender Festival' in Jammu and Kashmir's Bhaderwah Valley and said that the Union Territory has emerged as the lavender capital of India and a prominent agri-start-up destination.
The festival was organised by the CSIR-IIIM and was part of the institution's 'One Week One Lab Campaign'. It showcases the remarkable progress made in lavender cultivation and its impact on the local community.
The CSIR-aroma Mission has been instrumental in promoting lavender cultivation in the temperate regions of Jammu and Kashmir. Its primary goal is to increase the income of small and marginal farmers and foster the development of agriculture-based start-ups.
The successful adoption of lavender cultivation by small and marginal maize farmers in the temperate regions of Jammu has led to the establishment of a new industry in the region. More than 2,500 farmers are now cultivating lavender in different parts of Jammu and Kashmir.

World's First 3D Printed Temple to Come up in Telangana
The world's first 3D printed Hindu temple is being built in Telangana. Situated within Charvitha Meadows, a gated villa community at Burugupally in Siddipet, the 3D printed temple is a three-part structure being built in an area of 3,800 square feet by city-based Apsuja Infratech.
Apsuja Infratech has tied up with Simpliforge Creations, a 3D-printed construction company, for the project.
The three sanctums, or garbhas, within the structure represent a 'modak', dedicated to Lord Ganesha; a Shivalay, a square abode devoted to Lord Shankar; and a Lotus shaped home for Goddess Parvati.
