In a move to fortify India’s agricultural backbone, Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan will tour Chhattisgarh on January 31, prioritizing direct farmer dialogues amid rapid rural transformation efforts.
The day begins in Raipur, transitioning swiftly to Durg district’s Girhola and Khapri for hands-on khet bhraman and sapling plantation. Chouhan will unpack benefits of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, National Mission on Agri Development, natural farming, and PM Micro Irrigation Scheme, urging widespread participation to harness their full potential.
Afternoon action unfolds at Kumhari’s farmers’ fair, courtesy Chhattisgarh Youth Progressive Farmers Association. Themes include cutting-edge tech, crop variety, FPOs, digital farming revolutions, and NRLM-driven income multipliers—offering a roadmap to sustainable prosperity.
Chouhan will passionately advocate central powerhouses: PM Kisan’s lifeline for marginal farmers, PM Crop Insurance Yojana’s safety net, RKVY innovations, Digital Agri Mission, drones for precision, PMAY-Rural’s shelter push, PMGSY connectivity, and NRLM’s empowerment engine. These schemes are reshaping rural India, one village at a time.
Wrapping up at Mahanadi Bhawan, Naya Raipur, a strategic huddle with CM Vishnu Dev Sai reviews agri-rural milestones: PMGSY roads, PMAY constructions, SHG vitality, PM Kisan Dhan-Dhanya, organic expansion, seed-fertilizer-credit flows, and agri-infra investments.
This purposeful visit galvanizes renewed resolve, blending central vision with state execution to elevate Chhattisgarh’s farmers and villages, contributing to the broader national agrarian renaissance.
