Awards, media & national recognition — from Prime Ministers to the Indian Army

For decades, our family’s Pampore saffron has been felicitated by national leaders, union ministers, the Indian Army, the Directorate of Agriculture, and the press. A record you can see — proof of authenticity, not just claims.

The man you’ll see again and again in these photographs is our grandfather, Abdul Majeed Wani — chairman of the Pampore Saffron Farmers Producer Company, and the elder whose harvest fills every jar we ship.
