Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan sent a clear message from New Delhi: farmers’ interests are non-negotiable. In his media briefing, he lauded the Modi government’s transformative impact on agriculture, painting an optimistic picture of current advancements.
From clinching the global top spot in rice to boosted wheat production and a 33 percent food grain leap, achievements abound. Chouhan revealed a strategic blueprint to resolve lingering issues, vowing meticulous implementation.
Dreaming big, he aims for India as the world’s food basket, focusing on premium produce like fruits and veggies. Bureaucratic simplifications are underway to ease farmers’ burdens. ‘They form our country’s core; no trade-offs on their front,’ Chouhan declared firmly.
Bharat Vistar emerged as the star initiative—a hassle-free platform where farmers pose queries and get tailored responses instantly. IT skills? Not needed. Upcoming multi-language versions will make it inclusive, solving problems in native tongues.
The minister hyped the Krishi Vigyan Mela as vital for disseminating agri-evolutions. With broad participation, it ensures farmers are future-ready. ‘No farming pitfalls ahead once they’re informed,’ Chouhan promised, highlighting its pivotal role.
