Dehradun, January 16
Vasant Utsav will be organised at Raj Bhawan here from February 24 to 25.
Uttarakhand Governor KK Paul today held a meeting with officials of the Department of Horticulture to discuss the preparations.
The Governor said the aim of the festival was to give a boost to floriculture and cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants.
The postal cover for this year’s spring festival will be on jambu, a medicinal plant found in the high-altitude areas of the state. It is used as a flavouring agent and for its medicinal properties. A special stamp exhibition will be part of the event.
The Governor said children should be encouraged to take part in a paining competition, a regular feature of the annual flower show.
