Is there government support and training for lavender farming under the Aroma Mission?

Lavender has been promoted in temperate areas under the CSIR Aroma Mission, which in the Jammu and Kashmir region is often called the purple revolution, and the support has included quality planting material, training on cultivation and distillation, and help with establishing distillation units, along with handholding through the research institutes involved. State horticulture and agriculture schemes may also support aromatic crops. The exact support, eligibility and what is currently on offer change over time and by location, so do not assume a fixed package. The practical first step is to contact the nearest CSIR institute centre involved in the aroma mission or your KVK and horticulture office, ask what planting material, training and distillation support is currently available to you, and confirm the buyback or marketing arrangement for the oil, since the support is most useful when paired with a clear market for your product.
