Narendra Modi Expresses Happiness in Interaction with Farmers: Steps Being Taken Towards Making the Country Self-reliant in Agriculture and Pulses

 

             Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during a recent interaction with his farmer brothers and sisters, commended their enthusiasm and active participation in making the country self-reliant in agriculture and pulses. He said, "It is extremely heartening to know that our farmer brothers and sisters are willing to actively participate in making the country self-reliant in agriculture and pulses." This statement underscores the Prime Minister's vision that farmers are the foundation of India's economic progress.

Prime Minister Modi emphasized in his interaction that farmers are not only ensuring the country's food security but are also making a significant contribution to self-reliance in pulses and other agricultural products. He mentioned various government schemes, such as the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi, the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund, and the Crop Insurance Scheme, which are proving helpful in empowering farmers and increasing their income. Modi said, "Our government's goal is that every farmer not only becomes self-reliant but also makes his mark in the global market. To this end, we are promoting modern technology, organic farming, and digital platforms."

In recent years, India has made significant progress in pulse production. Under the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana and the Pulses Development Programme, the government has provided farmers with high-quality seeds, advanced technology, and market facilities. As a result, pulse production in the country has increased, reducing dependence on imports. The Prime Minister also highlighted that increased pulse production has not only improved farmers' incomes but is also important for the country's nutritional security. He urged farmers to adopt organic farming and sustainable agricultural practices.

Emphasizing the importance of digital agriculture, the Prime Minister said that platforms like e-NAM (National Agriculture Market) are helping farmers get better prices for their produce. Furthermore, the government is taking several initiatives to promote the use of drone technology and smart farming. He said, "Our goal is for 21st-century India to not only be self-reliant in agriculture but also become a global leader. Our farmers are the strongest link in this direction."

The Prime Minister's address has infused new enthusiasm among farmers. Farmers across the country have appreciated his schemes and incentives. Rameshwar Singh, a farmer from Uttar Pradesh, said, "This message from the Prime Minister inspires us to work harder. We want our country to become completely self-reliant in pulses and grains."

This address by Prime Minister Narendra Modi not only reflects his commitment to farmers, but also makes it clear that the government's focus is on strengthening the rural economy and realizing the dream of a self-reliant India. Through the coordination of farmers' hard work and government policies, India is poised to achieve new milestones in the agricultural sector.
