Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, speaking on behalf of the central government, highlighted significant efforts to ensure farmers have timely access to fertilizers and to increase agricultural productivity per hectare. His remarks came during the 20th installment release of the PM KISAN Samman Nidhi event.
Addressing farmers, Chouhan emphasized agriculture as the backbone of India's economy, describing his ministerial service as akin to worship. He underscored initiatives, like the Pradhan Mantri Dhan-Dhaanya Yojana, aimed at boosting productivity, especially in lower-yielding regions.
Chouhan assured farmers of sufficient pesticide and fertilizer availability and stressed that future agriculture research will be guided by inputs from villages, not solely from Delhi. This aligns with the prime minister's goal to make farming more profitable.
