Shalimar Rice 10: Developed specifically for disease resistance, promising to secure the staple crop of the valley against devasting pathogens.
Shalimar Pusa QMH 1: A breakthrough focused on nutritional quality, ensuring that food security is matched with nutritional security.
The New Portfolio: 16 Varieties for a Changing Climate
The newly released package covers a diverse spectrum of crops, ensuring that farmers across different agro-climatic zones benefit.
The Breakdown of Today's Releases:
Maize: 6 Varieties (Addressing the needs of rainfed and hilly areas)
Pulses: 4 Varieties (Boosting protein availability and soil health)
Apple: 2 Varieties (Strengthening the backbone of Kashmir’s economy)
Rice: 1 Variety (Shalimar Rice 10)
Wheat: 1 Variety
Oats: 1 Variety (Fodder and grain security)
Brown Sarson: 1 Variety (Oilseed enhancement)
Prof. Shakeel A Mir, Dean, Faculty of Agriculture, Wadura said: This achievement would not have been possible without the visionary leadership and the hard work of specific research stations working in tandem. We extend our heartiest congratulations to:
The Honorable Vice-Chancellor, SKUAST-K Prof. Nazir A Ganie for providing the strategic vision, administrative support, and an environment where scientific inquiry can flourish. Prof H R Naik, Director Research and all Plant Breeders and associated scientists of other disciplines for developing 16 new climate resilient crop varieties which were released in 10th State Seed Sub Committee meeting (State Var Release Committee) held on 24.12.2025 at APD, Civil Secretariate Jammu. Shri Shalinder Kumar, Additional Chief Secretary, lauded the "assiduous efforts" of SKUAST-Kashmir, noting the university's pivotal role in serving the farming community through scientific innovation."
Furthermore, The Scientists of MRCFC Khudwani (Mountain Research Centre for Field Crops): Your work on rice, particularly the new MAS-bred Shalimar Rice 10, is a game-changer for the valley's paddy farmers.
The Team at Ambri Research Station: Your contribution of 2 new Apple varieties ensures that Kashmir remains the fruit bowl of the region.
The Experts at DARS (Dryland Agriculture Research Station): Your extensive work on Maize, Pulses, and Oilseeds is critical for the sustainability of dryland farming.

The programme was graced by Prof. Shakeel Ahmad Mir, Dean, Faculty of Agriculture, who served as the Chief Guest. World Soil Day, internationally recognized following a recommendation by the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) in 2002, aims to raise global awareness about the alarming rate of soil degradation, its environmental impact, and the need for sustainable soil management. The observance underscores the indispensable role of soil in sustaining life on Earth. This year’s global theme, “Healthy Soils for Healthy Cities,” reflected the growing challenge of maintaining soil health amid rapid urban expansion. The theme highlights how healthy soils underpin urban well-being-supporting food security, water purification, green infrastructure, climate resilience, and overall quality of life. The programme began with a welcome address by Prof. Mohammad Auyoub Bhat, who described soil as “the quiet engine that sustains urban life.” He emphasized that soil is not only vital for agriculture and rural ecosystems but also for the sustainability, resilience, and ecological balance of modern cities. In his keynote address, Prof. Shakeel Ahmad Mir, Dean, Faculty of Agriculture, enlightened students on the significance of World Soil Day. He cautioned against unplanned urbanization and the unchecked spread of concrete structures, both of which threaten soil health. He called upon policymakers, urban planners, civil society members, and citizens to adopt nature-based solutions and innovative technologies to protect soil resources and promote sustainable urban development. The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from more than 150 undergraduate and postgraduate students, along with faculty members and soil scientists. To mark the occasion, a series of engaging competitions-including quiz, speech, painting, and a mock farmer-expert interaction were organized, showcasing student’s creativity, awareness, and commitment to soil conservation. Winners of the various competitions were felicitated with prizes during the ceremony. The event concluded with a formal vote of thanks by Dr. M. H.
