Tulip cultivation is being promoted in Uttarakhand as a way of self-employment and economic development: CM Pushkar Singh Dhami
In a significant step towards promoting self-employment and boosting the state’s floral production sector, today, families in Uttarakhand participated in the planting of various species of tulip bulbs at government housing premises. This initiative, spearheaded by the state government, underscores Uttarakhand’s vast potential for floral farming, particularly tulips, which are gaining increasing popularity in the state.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, who has been a strong advocate for agricultural diversification, emphasized that the state’s favorable climatic conditions and natural resources make it an ideal location for flower production. “We are committed to encouraging both traditional and commercial flower farming in Uttarakhand. The tulip farming initiative is one of the many efforts being made to empower local farmers and provide them with sustainable income opportunities,” said Dhami, highlighting the long-term economic benefits of the initiative.
Tulip cultivation is being promoted as part of a broader strategy to boost self-employment and support the rural economy. The vibrant flowers not only promise to attract tourists but also open up avenues for local entrepreneurs, particularly in floriculture, which is emerging as a promising industry in the region. The government is working closely with local farmers, offering training and resources to help them transition into flower farming and explore new markets.
This move aligns with the state’s ongoing efforts to uplift rural communities through agricultural reforms. The government’s focus on floriculture, alongside other crops, is expected to transform Uttarakhand into a hub of flower production, creating jobs and contributing to the overall development of the region.
