Saffron From Kishtwar In Jammu And Kashmir

Kishtwar saffron, a prized spice cultivated and harvested in the Kishtwar Region of Jammu and Kashmir, has recently been bestowed with the prestigious Geographical Indication (GI) tag by the Geographical Indications Registry.
This recognition solidifies the unique identity and quality of saffron produced in the Kishtwar region of Jammu, complementing its already legendary reputation.
Kishtwar saffron finds its roots in the picturesque Kishtwar region, situated in the mountainous terrains of Jammu.

This spice, locally known as “KUNG” and nationally as “KESAR,” is a vital cash crop in this isolated district.
The saffron production area, aptly named Mandal, covers about 120 hectares of cultivable land, making Kishtwar a significant hub for saffron cultivation.
The quality of Kishtwar saffron stands out, even in comparison to the well-known Pampore saffron from Kashmir.
The superiority is attributed to various factors such as the quality of the land, the climate, and the meticulous technique of plucking flowers and separating the red and yellow carpels from the petals.

Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma launched the ‘Meghalaya Water Smart Kid Campaign.’
This initiative, operating under the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), aims to educate children about the vital importance of water conservation.

The Chief Minister explained that out of the total, 31 billion cubic liters flow to Bangladesh, and an equivalent amount flows to Assam.
