Ladakh's Pashmina sector is set for a significant boost following Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena's approval of two key initiatives. A 25% incentive for herders aims to enhance production of the prized fibre, while an ₹8 crore revolving fund will support the cooperative marketing society. These measures are designed to benefit nomadic communities, improve Pashmina quality, and prevent distress sales, fostering sustainable development.
