On Mother’s Day, Krishi Nari Samridhi Sangh and Krishi Nari Abhiyan Samiti emailed PM Modi urging a body for women in agriculture.
The memorandum cites over 3.6 crore women cultivators, 6 crore women agricultural labourers and 10 crore women linked to dairy, horticulture and food processing.
It proposes organising one crore women farmers, creating 10 lakh women‑led agro‑MSMEs, digital market platforms, skill training, and dedicated support schemes within five years.
The initiative aims to boost rural women income, employment and the Agri‑MSME sector, aligning with “Atmanirbhar Bharat” and “Viksit Bharat 2047”.
