J&K horticulture supports 7.5 lakh families: Govt
Srinagar, Sept 24:Around 35 lakh people from 7.5 lakh families are directly or indirectly linked to J&Ks horticulture sector, which contributes about 10% to the UTs GDP and generates an estimated 12,000 crore annually, the government told the Legislative Assembly. The Agriculture Production Department called horticulture one of the main pillars of J&Ks economy, especially in Kashmir Division. One hectare of orchard area generates approximately 400 man-days of employment annually, the department said, contributing significantly to rural livelihoods. The government confirmed that farmers associated with the horticulture sector have suffered losses in some areas due to natural calamities, including hailstorms, floods and heavy rains. It said the department undertakes assessment of crop losses through field functionaries and extends assistance or relief, wherever admissible, under the provisions of applicable schemes and guidelines. On crop insurance, the reply said the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) is presently being implemented in all 20 districts of the UT. The scheme is demand-driven with no cap on the number of farmers to be covered, and all 13.985 lakh Farmer Families of J&K are eligible to avail its benefits, subject to applicable guidelines and eligibility criteria. District-wise details of farmers covered were given in Annexure-A. On pending claims, the government said the major reasons for pendency of genuine claims include Aadhaar non-verification, closure of bank accounts, de-seeding of Aadhaar from the NPCI mapper by banks, and bank accounts being blocked or frozen. It said a special campaign has been launched to resolve such failed payment transactions, under which approximately 60% of the affected farmers have been contacted, with requisite documents being collected from them on a daily basis for verification and further action toward settlement of pending claims. On coverage, the reply said PMFBY covers hailstorm damage to notified crops, including paddy and maize during Kharif and wheat and oilseeds during Rabi. Under the basic cover, the scheme provides area-based insurance against yield losses in standing crops from sowing to harvesting arising from non-preventable risks such as drought, dry spells, floods, inundation, widespread pest and disease attacks, landslides, natural fire due to lightning, storms, hailstorms and cyclones. The scheme thus provides comprehensive protection against major natural perils that may result in crop losses, subject to applicable guidelines and notified crops/areas. On transportation, the department said it has strengthened traffic and logistics management during the peak fruit season through coordinated measures to ensure smooth and timely transportation of horticultural produce. A dedicated Control Room at Qazigund has been established for real-time traffic monitoring, coordination with concerned agencies and dissemination of timely advisories to growers, traders and transporters. Govt said that the Mughal Road is also being utilized as an alternative route, wherever feasible, to reduce congestion on NH-44. Railway parcel/goods/freight services from Anantnag and Budgam to Delhi have been facilitated and promoted for transportation of horticultural produce. These measures, the reply said, have helped diversify the transportation network, reduce dependence on NH-44 and minimize the risk of prolonged stranding of fruit-laden vehicles during the peak harvest season.

National Film Awards: A Tribute to the Magic of Indian Cinema
On September 22, the President of India, Droupadi Murmu presented the 72nd National Film Awards in Ekta Nagar, Gujarat marking a departure from the recent tradition of holding the ceremony at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi. As a major policy initiative by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the shifting of venue is foreseeing the possibility of future editions of the country's highest cinema honour to travel across other states and cities rather than stay anchored within the national capital. It may be perceived as a small logistical decision but it holds a symbolic weight for cinema that the ceremony belongs to every region, not just to the corridors of New Delhi. This year's list of winners, announced on July 18, 2026, reflects the similar spirit of the country's central measure of cinematic merit. In the category of the Best Feature Film, Article 370 was given the award along with its lead actress Yami Gautam who won the Best Actress award. Similarly, Mammootty and Kartik Aaryan were given the Best Actor honours for Bramayugam and Chandu Champion respectively, while Rajkumar Periasamy won Best Direction for the Tamil film Amaran. Interestingly the most quietly significant win came in the non-feature category, where Angen, directed by Ravi Raj Murmu, became the first Santhali-language film to be honoured a marker of how far the awards' linguistic reach now extends. This year, the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, cinema's lifetime achievement honour was given to veteran actor Anant Nag, whose five-decade career spans over 300 films across six languages. Meanwhile, to understand the context why national awards matter so much in present circumstances we need to look back at where the process began in the country prior to partition of the subcontinent. In 1913, Indian cinema's own story started when Dadasaheb Phalke completed Raja Harishchandra, the country's first full-length feature film. It took four more decades for the Indian state to formally recognise the art form: following recommendations from the 1949 Film Enquiry Committee, the government instituted the State Awards for Films in 1954, honouring the films of 1953. That first edition was modest just seven honours across feature films, documentaries and children's films, with Shyamchi Aai winning the top feature film prize. The awards grew steadily with the industry itself. Acting honours arrived only in 1967-68, when Uttam Kumar and Nargis won the first Best Actor and Best Actress awards. The Dadasaheb Phalke Award followed in 1969, first given to Devika Rani. Administration passed to the Directorate of Film Festivals in 1973, and in 2022 that body merged into the National Film Development Corporation, which now runs the awards. Each of these shifts added new categories, new crafts, and new regions to the fold a process the 72nd edition continues, most visibly through its recognition of films in Garhwali and Tulu, languages outside the Constitution's Eighth Schedule that nonetheless now have a place on the national stage. The awards' purpose has stayed remarkably consistent since 1954: to encourage films of technical and aesthetic merit, to help audiences understand the country's regional cultures, and, through that understanding, to strengthen national unity. They are not simply trophies. A National Award pulls a film out of a narrow regional audience and onto a country-wide platform, often reshaping a filmmaker's career in the process. That mission carries real economic weight today. India's media and entertainment sector is now the fifth largest in the world, powered by millions of digital creators and a strong cost advantage in animation and VFX work. Cinema is not just cultural expression it is a livelihood engine and a form of soft power that carries Indian storytelling to global audiences. The 72nd National Film Awards capture an industry in transition: still rooted in the two-tier jury system introduced decades ago, still measuring films against the same core standards of craft and social relevance, but increasingly willing to look beyond the familiar centres of Hindi and major regional cinema. A Santhali film winning for the first time, a Garhwali and Tulu film earning separate recognition, and the ceremony itself relocating to Gujarat all point in the same direction toward an award that is finally trying to look as diverse as the country whose films it honours. If that trajectory holds, the National Film Awards may end up doing more than crowning the year's best films; they may help build the audience for cinema that has, until now, rarely reached beyond its own region.
