Himachal Govt. Launches Scheme to Boost Medicinal Herb Cultivation in Kullu

The Himachal Pradesh government has initiated a new scheme aimed at promoting the cultivation of high-value medicinal herbs across the Kullu district. This initiative seeks to diversify agricultural income for local farmers and leverage the region's suitable climatic conditions. Farmers will receive financial assistance, technical guidance, and market linkages under the program. A series of awareness workshops for farmers is scheduled to commence next week, starting on July 18, 2026, to detail the benefits and implementation process. This move is expected to significantly enhance the economic well-being of rural communities.
