The IAS topper who recently resigned from his service is all set to float an independent party to “highlight the political deadlock in Jammu and Kashmir”. He also wishes to facilitate dialogue between people of various regions of the State – Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh, Pir Panchal, and Chenab Valley so that an environment of amity and brotherhood can be built.

Taking to a social networking site Facebook, the IAS topper wrote: “I had never imagined that my small act of defiance to highlight political deadlock in Jammu and Kashmir would evoke such a response across the world.

I had never thought that my dream of clean politics and corruption-free administration in J&K would take the shape of a public movement.

Respecting the public sentiment, I have decided to chart my independent political journey.

And now in this new phase of public service, my mission is to support the true cause of humanity, stand up for the poor, marginalized and dispossessed and speak up for injustices, wherever in this world, irrespective of caste, colour, region, and religion.

I imagine a politics where youth can lead the change and take charge of their future; I wish to partner with a new generation of young leaders who can stand up for human rights, environment, free speech and rule of law.

My idea is to seek help from the people of India, build alliances with the Indian civil society and intellectual class to humanize the narrative around Kashmir conflict so that lasting peace can be achieved in J&K State.

My mission is to truthfully represent aspirations, culture, fears, and dreams of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, across the world.

I wish to facilitate dialogue between people of various regions of the State – Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh, Pir Panchal, and Chenab Valley so that an environment of amity and brotherhood can be built.

I believe that development and dignity must go together, and we have to work together for giving a sense of security, better education, healthcare, livelihoods, electricity and other civic amenities to people of J&K State.

This is a people’s movement and it will be funded by the people. People are the only agencies who will help this succeed.

Believe in me, be patient with me in this long and difficult journey and donate for this cause.

Hing seeds-Ferula assa-foetida seeds

Scientists sow ‘pure’ heeng seeds to help farmers reap benefits

Tuesday, 08 January 2019 | Archana Jyoti | New Delhi

For the first time, in high altitudes of Himachal Pradesh’s Lahaul & Spiti, Indian scientists have successfully sown high-quality seeds of Asafoetida locally known as heeng (botanical name: Ferula assa-foetida L.), imported from Iran, to help the cold deserts’ farmers to commercially grow the much-sought after high-valued spice.

Given that currently India imports about 1,145 tonnes of raw Heeng annually from Afghanistan (73 per cent), Iran (14 per cent) and Uzbekistan (13 per cent) incurring approximately $77 million per year, all eyes are now on the indigenous project undertaken by the scientists from the CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bio-resource Technology (IHBT), Palampur.

Though, some farmers have taken initiative to grow the heeng herb in their land privately, it is of inferior quality or adulterated which are not good for health, said Dr Sanjay Kumar, Director of the IHBT.

Whereas, he pointed out, the heeng seeds procured by our institute (IHBT) have been quarantined by the national authorised body, ICAR-National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR), declaring them to be healthy and free of pests.

“The seeds have been quarantined so that they are weed-free. We have sown them in a tract at our Centre for High Altitude Biology (CeHAB) at Ribling, Lahaul & Spiti as well as at our lab in Palampur. “While at the local lab, seeds have been already germinated, we are now waiting for the snow to melt at the CeHAB centre where seeds will germinate in natural cold conditions,” said Dr Sanjay Kumar.

In India, it can be cultivated in a wide range of sub-Himalayan region of northern India, viz. Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and Uttarakhand, added Dr Ashok Kumar, Scientist, Agrotechnology of Medicinal, Aromatic and Commercially Important Plants Division, IHBT.

Once it is commercially cultivated, the spice has potential to not only provide jobs to unemployed youths, boost the income of the farmers but also offer alternate substitute to regular crops which are facing animal menace or extreme weather conditions.

“Once the heeng project kicks-off, we will also work on improving the technology for extracting resin efficiently as well as conduct experiment if it can be grown in the lower altitudes also,” said Dr Ashok Kumar.

Heeng or Asafoetida is a perennial herb that produces pungently flavoured oleo-gum resin in its fleshy roots which has medicinal properties related to digestive system, cleansing and strengthening the gastro-intestinal tract, Dr Ashok Kumar said.

The international value crop has high demand in the pharmaceutical sector. This plant takes five years for maturing shrubs and producing gum. An average of 30 gm fresh gum can be extracted from a single shrub.

Kiwi fruits in Kashmir market

Kiwi plants are usually propagated asexually by grafting fruiting varieties onto rootstock or by rooting kiwi cuttings. They may also be propagated by seed, but the resulting plants are not guaranteed to be true to the parent plants.Propagating kiwi cuttings is a fairly simple process for the home gardener.

How long does it take for a kiwi tree to bear fruit?
Growing kiwi from seed is not complicated but it will take between 3 to 5 yearsbefore you can take a bite into your home-grown kiwi fruit. Don't despair though, there's plenty to enjoy until your first fruit harvest.

How do kiwi plants reproduce?
To get seeds in a kiwifruit, a female flower must be pollinated – the more pollen it gets, the more seeds it produces. Kiwifruit flowers are pollinated by insects, but the flowers are a bit unusual. The male and female reproductive parts are in separate flowers, which grow on separate plants.

What climate does kiwi fruit grow in?
It may surprise you to know that kiwis will thrive in just about any climate that experiences at least a month of below 45 degree F temperatures in winter. The vines need a period of cold to set fruit. The kiwis available at the grocery store, Actinidia deliciosa, are native to China.

Do Kiwi grow trees?
Growing Hardy Kiwi Vine In The Garden. Kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa) is an attractive, sweet fruit that is produced mostly in California and New Zealand. However, if you live in an area that has mild winters and a frost-free season long enough for the fruit to ripen, you can grow hardy kiwi plants in your garden.

Do male kiwi plants produce fruit?
Additionally, the female flowers do not produce pollen. ... Because the male kiwivines do not bear fruit, they put all of their energy into vine growth and are, thus, often more vigorous and larger than their female counterparts.

Are Kiwi self pollinating?
BEST ANSWER: Yes, that is a benefit of growing the self-pollinating Issai: It can also serve as a pollinator for female kiwiberry vines. Arctic Kiwi (Actinidia kolomikta) will not cross pollinate with the hardy Kiwi (Actinidia arguta). If your male Kiwi has white and pink markings on the leaves it is an Arctic Kiwi.

How do you take care of a kiwi plant?
Make sure you mulch around your small plants. Make sure once you plant your hardy kiwi vine transplants, you water them daily until they take hold. After that, you can slack off a little, as they prefer well-drained soil once they are settled.

Do Kiwis have wings?
The vestigial wings are so small that they are invisible under the bristly, hair-like, two-branched feathers. While most adult birds have bones with hollow insides to minimise weight and make flight practicable, kiwi have marrow, like mammals and the young of other birds.

Can Kiwis grow tropical climate?
It may surprise you to know that kiwis will thrive in just about any climate that experiences at least a month of below 45 degree F temperatures in winter. The vines need a period of cold to set fruit. The kiwis available at the grocery store, Actinidia deliciosa, are native to China.

Can we grow kiwi fruit in India?
Kiwi or Chinese gooseberry (Actinidia deliciosa) is grown widely in New Zealand, Italy, USA, China, Japan, Australia, France,Pakistan,Iran, Kashmir, Chile and Spain.Kiwi is mostly grown in the mid hills of Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, J & K, Sikkim, Meghalaya, Punjab, Silguri,Tamil Nadu,Kerala, Arunachal Pradesh,Karnataka,Uttarakhand and Kerala.

Kiwi to grow in valley, 15 times costlier than apple

For the first time, Horticulture Department Kashmir is growing climbers of a fresh fruit, Kiwi, in the Valley; the fruit sells 15 times costlier than apple in the market.

Kiwi Garden J&K

After finding the local climatic conditions conducive for the growth of the fruit, the horticulture department has decided to sell five thousand Kiwi plants to the growers in the first phase of the cultivation. The department will start distribution of the plants from coming February. 

 “Climate of valley is very conducive for the growth of Kiwi and we have already tested the plant in the local environs. The plants have emerged nicely in the soil, bearing fruit in bumper and leaving no problem in ripening,” said Director Horticulture Kashmir, M S Qasba. 

    

 Kiwi is originally native of China from where it has spread to New Zealand, which has climatic conditions that are almost in sync with the climatic conditions of the valley. In keeping with the temperate climate of the valley, the experts broached the idea of testing the fruit here, which convinced the experts to go ahead with the mission of producing Kiwi in Valley.

While Kiwi is a perennial plant with broad leaves on its branches, it has a rapid rate of transpiration and requires irrigation frequently for its growth and development. In the months of June and July, Kiwi will require irrigation from 4 to 5 times.

“Due to higher transpiration rate, the Orchards need to be irrigated many a time to avoid loss of growth of the fruit. We have already advised the growers not to grow the fruit in un-irrigated fields,” said the Director, adding that the fruit starts ripening in the month of August and is harvested in October.

After 4th year of its transplantation, Kiwi starts bearing fruit and a full grown plant yields upto 50 kgs. The potato size Kiwi is expected to outshine the valley’s popular fruit apple as it sells at a much higher rate than apple in the market.

“One Kilogram of Kiwi sells in the market from rupees 200 to 300 as compared to apple which sells at the rate of rupees 20 to 40. This in itself attests the fact, how profitable it is to grow the exotic variety of fresh fruit in the valley,” said Qasba .

As the fruit will engender a diversification of fresh fruit, the Horticulture Department is optimistic that its cultivation will be beneficial for the fruit industry.

Exotic products such as Kiwi, hazelnuts, asparagus make their way into India plates

NEW DELHI: When Gurgaon resident Avanti Agarwal (name changed) got married this year, dishes made of white asparagus that she had arranged to be served turned out to be a huge hit.

Kiwi is mostly grown in the mid hills of Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, J & K, Sikkim, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh,Karnataka,Uttarakhand  and Kerala.  Having been very newly introduced in the country estimates of area and production have not yet become available.

"We had a separate stall serving white asparagus because it is healthier and more nutritious than the green one. Everyone loved the salads and soups made from it," said Avanti who is a vice president with a multinational bank and a health freak. She is also a regular at gourmet stores in the National Capital. Avanti is not an exception and this is not something that's reserved for special occasions. The grocery lists of many households these days have exotic products such as hazelnuts, asparagus, basil and kiwi fruit— products that were barely visible in the country a few years ago and now increasingly appealing to the Indian palette.

Consider this: India imported $270,000 worth of shelled hazelnuts in the first four months of this financial year compared with $150,000 in the whole of 2014-15. Similarly, asparagus imports have already crossed $160,000 compared with $400,000 last year. Imports of herbs such as rosemary and basil, the foreign cousin of the desi tulsi plant, have more than doubled to $3.5 million in this period from the whole of 2014-15.

Purchases of exotic fruit, vegetables, oils and other ingredients are increasing, thanks to higher incomes, the opening up of gourmet food stores and the rising number of Indians travelling abroad and bringing new tastes back home. Add to this, cookery shows -- both Indian and foreign – that have exposed the upper middle-class to a range of ingredients and dishes so much that the level of experimentation has gone up dramatically.
