Union Minister Jitendra Singh tweets, "As a follow-up to PM Modi's thoughtful advice to develop 100 districts across the country as Aspirational Agricultural Districts under "PM Dhan Dhaanya Krishi Yojana" (PMDDKY)… in Jammu and Kashmir, district Kishtwar has been selected to be designated as "Aspirational Agricultural District". Thanks, Minister of Agriculture Sh Shivraj Singh Chouhan for facilitating this. I am sure, this will herald agricultural boost and encourage Agri-Entrepreneurs/StartUps in this remote far flung area, which was denied it's due share of attention for several decades by successive governments in the past. Close on the heels of the widely acclaimed "Purple Revolution" from Bhaderwah, this initiative holds the promise of being another major farming launch from the erstwhile Doda district region."
