Himachal progressive apple grower gets recognition 5 months after death for discovering a new variety in 2016
His family received recognition for his contribution to horticulture with the formal registration of a unique apple variety he discovered — now named ‘Kanwar Majholi Selection-1’. (File Photo) When Joginder Singh Kanwar, a former teacher and progressive apple grower of Majholi village near Theog, discovered a new variety of apple in 2016, little did he know that his discovery would bring him recognition someday. The PPV&FRA took almost six years and authenticated that the variety was next and named it ‘Kanwar Majholi Selection-1,” Dr Thakur said.
