Answer : 1. "Jammu and Kashmir"
Explanation :
India's first lavender farm is being built in Challa village of Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir. It is spread over two hectares of land owned by the Department of Agricultural Production and Farmers Welfare. The plantation of the first sample of lavender was witnessed at this farm on Sunday by District Development Council (DDC) member Rita Thakur, Chief Agriculture Officer, Kathua, Sanjeev Rai Gupta.
