Proposed Seed Bank at Glacier Cave in Pahalgam

The Jammu and Kashmir Medicinal Plants Introduction Centre (Pvt. sector)  has proposed the establishment of a seed bank within a glacier cave in Pahalgam, Anantnag. This facility is intended to preserve seeds of various crops, providing a safeguard against potential global disasters or crop failures.

These seed banks play a crucial role in conserving biodiversity, supporting sustainable agriculture, and ensuring food security in Jammu and Kashmir.
