The Jammu and Kashmir Medicinal Plants Introduction Centre, was established under the Fruit & Medicinal plants Development Project during the year 2020-2011. The infrastructure, existing as on date, was created over a period of 5-10 years. The Ginkgo plantation was started during the year 2001-2004. The main thrust of the programme was to develop Ginkgo plantation of improved cultivars.
