SRINAGAR, DECEMBER 04:
Deputy Speaker, Nazir Ahmad Gurezi today stressed that Gurez should be declared
as an organic valley, free from all fertilizers.
Chairing a high-level meeting on the activities of Krishi
Vigyan Kendra (KVK) in Gurez valley, the Deputy Speaker said the valley has the
potential of producing organic products.
“Topographically,
Gurez has different weather conditions and the people living there are rich in
producing the organic fertilisers by their own which can revolutionize the
market by producing the organic farming like potatoes, maize, peas,” he said.
He also directed the officials for early completion of
separate KVK in Gurez valley which was earlier sanctioned by the Government of
India.
The Deputy Speaker was informed by the VC SKAUST that very
soon off-season pea cultivation will be started in Gurez which can then feed
the rest of the country apart from the Kashmir Valley.
“Scientists
have been already sent to Gurez, where we will soon have an apple, apricot and
walnut villages. Also, a Hi-tech green poly house will be given to Gurez,” said VC SKAUST.
