Committee Reviews Proposal for National Sea Buckthorn Research Centre in Ladakh

Initiated after Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena's proposal to Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the panel is assessing germplasm resources, research gaps, and institutional frameworks. Sea Buckthorn, praised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for its nutritional and medicinal value, offers potential for agricultural innovation and rural livelihoods.
