Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi emphasized the government's commitment to farmer welfare and agricultural empowerment in a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) on June 11, 2026. He stated that farmers are the pillars of the country's food security, nutrition, and prosperity, and that the government is making comprehensive efforts to ease their lives.
The Prime Minister highlighted several key agricultural initiatives: PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi and Fasal Bima Yojana are securing farmer income and empowering agriculture, while the PM-KUSUM scheme provides accessible solar energy that reduces farming expenditures. The Kisan Credit Card is proving beneficial in providing easy, low-interest loans to farmers, cattle rearers, and fishermen. The 'from seed to market' initiative is effectively ensuring fair prices for crops.
Modi noted that farmer welfare is among the government's top priorities, with continuous emphasis on providing modern agricultural facilities. Campaigns related to drones, soil health cards, and natural fertilizers are actively helping farmers increase their crop productivity. The posts were tagged with #12YearsOfKisanSamriddhi, indicating this messaging is part of a broader agricultural prosperity campaign anniversary.
