Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi emphasized the government's commitment to farmer welfare through various agricultural support initiatives. In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), the Prime Minister highlighted that farmers are "pillars of the country's food security, nutrition, and prosperity" and stated that the government is "leaving no stone unturned to make their lives easier."
The Prime Minister specifically mentioned several key government schemes: 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 was highlighted as proving highly beneficial in providing easy, low-interest loans to farmers, cattle rearers, and fishermen. The 'from seed to market' initiative was noted as effectively ensuring fair prices for crops.
Modi stated that farmer welfare is among the top priorities of the government, leading to 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 communications were shared under the hashtag #12YearsOfKisanSamriddhi, indicating this messaging is part of a broader agricultural prosperity campaign.
