In a significant move towards revolutionizing Indian agriculture, Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan inaugurated the 'Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan' on Thursday at Sakshigopal in Puri, Odisha. This national campaign aims to link agricultural scientists with farmers across over 700 districts, driving scientific growth in farming.
Chouhan emphasized the vision of transforming India into the 'food basket of the world' through Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Lab to Land' initiative, promising ample funds for agricultural research under the current government. The campaign is geared to engage directly with 1.5 crore farmers, enhancing crop yields and farmers' incomes.
Highlighting the campaign's launch from the holy city of Puri, Chouhan stressed its significance beyond agriculture, marking it as a national mission. The effort underscores a commitment to sustainability and national pride, with Chouhan participating in a 'Tiranga Yatra' and planting trees.
