The Uttar Pradesh government, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, plans to establish the state's first Centre of Excellence for Flowers in Ayodhya's Pirkhauli area, covering three hectares with a Rs 2 crore investment. The center aims to support floriculture by providing technical assistance, training in advanced cultivation methods, and promoting rare flower varieties like Dutch roses and marigolds. It will ensure a steady supply of high-quality flowers to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple and foster opportunities in flower processing and exports. Similar centers are planned in Mathura and Varanasi to create a floriculture network across the state, encouraging farmers to diversify from traditional crops and enhance incomes.
