Beyond Tulips: Ganderbal's Lavender bloom captivates tourists
Ganderbal, Jun 30:A sprawling lavender farm in Nunner village of central Kashmir's Ganderbal district is fast emerging as one of the Valley's newest seasonal tourist attractions, drawing visitors, photographers and nature enthusiasts eager to witness its vibrant purple bloom. Developed under the CSIR-Aroma Mission, the lavender fields have reached peak flowering this week, transforming the landscape into a sea of purple against the backdrop of the Sindh Nallah and the snow-clad Haramukh mountains. From the early hours of the morning, tourists and local residents flock to the farm for photography, social media reels and leisurely walks amid the fragrant blossoms. The growing popularity of the site received a major boost recently when Chief Minister Omar Abdullah inaugurated the Lavender Festival organised by the Agriculture Department Kashmir at the Model Floriculture Centre (MFC), Nunner. During the visit, he also laid the foundation stone and inaugurated several agriculture infrastructure projects aimed at strengthening the medicinal and aromatic plants sector and improving farmers' livelihoods. Drawing comparisons with internationally renowned lavender destinations, the Chief Minister said the scenic lavender fields of Ganderbal have the potential to become a major attraction for travellers heading to Sonamarg. He said such initiatives could generate new livelihood opportunities for local communities while promoting rural tourism in the region. Local farmers said the farm has witnessed a steady rise in footfall, with many travellers halting along the Srinagar-Sonamarg highway to explore the fields and capture photographs. This is better than any garden in Srinagar. The whole valley looks painted purple, and the scent is calming, said Ayesha Khan, a tourist from Mumbai who visited the farm on Saturday. With the annual Amarnath Yatra and the peak summer tourist season underway, officials and residents believe the lavender fields could emerge as an attractive offbeat destination for pilgrims and tourists travelling to Sonamarg. We came for Kheer Bhawani at Tullamulla. A local told us about the Nunner lavender fields. It's Kashmir's best-kept secret, said Ritesh Kumar, a devotee from Jammu. The Agriculture Department is encouraging more farmers in Ganderbal to adopt aromatic crop cultivation by providing free lavender saplings and facilitating buyback arrangements for lavender oil through CSIR-Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine (IIIM), making the transition economically viable. Agriculture experts said aromatic and medicinal plants offer significant economic potential and can play a key role in diversifying Kashmir's agricultural economy. They said commercial cultivation of these high-value crops, coupled with greater participation of educated youth, could provide sustainable livelihoods and improve the financial security of farming families. Experts also highlighted the environmental benefits of lavender cultivation, noting that the crop requires relatively little pesticide, improves soil health and attracts bees, thereby enhancing pollination of neighbouring crops. Officials said Kashmir's thriving tourism industry offers a ready market for ornamental and floriculture products. They added that the department is intensifying efforts to encourage more farmers to diversify into ornamental, medicinal and aromatic plant cultivation to tap both tourism and commercial opportunities.

The Forgotten BCCI Talent Hunt That Discovered MS Dhoni, Raina and Ishant Sharma
Recently, the Mumbai Cricket Association created a Talent Resource Development Officer (TRDO) Wing and appointed former Mumbai chief selector Sanjay Patil as its first chairman. Similarly, former India cricketer Laya Francis will be chief of the Womens wing of TRDW. The TRDW is considered an important step towards finding crickets raw and new talent. TRDW is not a trademark, but in Indian cricket, mere mention of it or TRDO straightway takes to BCCI and the pioneering work done by former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar as the first chief of BCCIs Talent Resource Development Wing (TRDW). It was an excellent initiative and helped to discover new talent from all corners of the country. This system, during its existence from 2002 to 2006, brought cricketers such as Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Ishant Sharma, Suresh Raina, Piyush Chawla, RP Singh and many others from obscurity to centre-stage. Its surprising that despite best results and finding wonderful performers, through the scheme, BCCI discontinued it. It was such a fruitful initiative that in 2015, the BCCIs newly constituted advisory panel of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman had recommended the revival of the Talent Resource Development Officers (TRDO) wing. The BCCI kept the issue burning for months and at last didnt revive it. The aim of the revival was to transform BCCIs National Cricket Academy from just a rehab centre to an actual nursery of the brightest talent in the country, decentralizing the NCA and starting zonal academies instead. Unfortunately, this vision didnt impress the BCCI. The cue was, however, taken by the IPL franchisees, and they redefined the role and called it talent scouting and player development. The inflow of unheard and uncapped talent straight to the IPL, bypassing the BCCI system of finding new talent is proof of the success of the process. Vaibhav Suryavanshi is the best example. The TRDW was created by the BCCI in 2002 (when its president was Jagmohan Dalmiya) and this initiative was suggested by administrator Makarand Waingankar. Dilip Vengsarkar was appointed its first chief (on a handsome salary of Rs. 15 lacs pa). The project involved appointing former cricketers and coaches as Talent Resource Development Officers (TRDO) catering to each zone, to spot local talent, looking beyond the established cricketing centres. This diminished the role of local state cricket associations in recommending names for national level selections. The TRDO discovered the talent and recommended to the BCCI directly to fast-track the grooming of players for national team duty via the National Cricket Academy (NCA). Mahendra Singh Dhoni was the best talent discovered by TRDO. Makarand Waingankar first tried this process in 2001 with the Karnataka State Cricket Association. The BCCI chief and former ICC Chair, Jagmohan Dalmiya, decided to replicate it for Indian cricket and within a few days the TRDW was set up with Dilip Vengsarkar as the first chief, assisted by Brijesh Patel. Twenty Talent Resource Development Officers (TRDOs) were appointed, to watch local junior matches around the country, rate the players on a uniform objective scale, and report directly to the National Junior Selection Committee and the National Cricket Academy (NCA), bypassing the state cricket associations. Today no one remembers that a TRDO named Prakash Poddar, former captain of Bengal in the 1960s, saw Dhoni playing for Jharkhand at Jamshedpur in 2003 and recommended him to the NCA. His recommendation reads, Good striker of the ball; has a lot of power but needs to work on his wicket-keeping. Technically not very good. He is very good at running between wickets. Similarly, other talented cricketers were identified. Unfortunately, the BCCI dissolved TRDW in 2006 after a power-shift and the removal of its head, Jagmoham Dalmiya. Thereafter, to unearth new talent, focus shifted to Under-19 cricket. Also Read: Live Cricket Score In 2009, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) set up a TRDW adopting the BCCI model of the scheme and brought Makarand Waingankar to implement it. Its a different story that the then KKR coach, John Buchanan, looked at the scheme as a challenge to his authority and worked very fast to pack it.
