JAMMU: The Department of Horticulture Jammu and Kashmir today announced its active participation in the upcoming Jhiri Mela 2025, a revered cultural and spiritual fair held annually in honour of farmer saint Baba Jittoo. This yearly event will be held from November 4 to November 12 at Jhiri village and is expected to draw thousands of devotees and visitors from across the region.
The Horticulture Department will set up a dedicated exhibition stall to highlight the rich diversity of horticultural produce from Jammu and Kashmir. The stall will feature fresh fruits from local orchards and farms; demonstrations on high-density plantation techniques and expert guidance on government schemes and subsidies.
Speaking about the initiative, the Director of Horticulture, Jammu said, “Jhiri Mela is not only a spiritual gathering but also a platform to connect with our farming community. Through this exhibition, we aim to educate and empower growers with modern horticultural practices and promote horticulture-entrepreneurship.”
The department has invited the public, especially farmers and agriculture-enthusiasts to visit the stall and interact with horticulture experts, extension officers and progressive growers.
