Shivraj Singh Chouhan

Agricultural policy and rural development remain central to Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s focus, with recent activity spanning resource optimization directives, regional conferences, and export-oriented initiatives. Chouhan is actively promoting natural farming practices and balanced fertilizer use while also leading efforts to boost fruit production and exports, including the establishment of a Clean Plant Centre in Lucknow and the development of export clusters linked to Noida International Airport. These developments, alongside discussions with state leaders like Punjab’s CM Mann on crop diversification and water conservation, underscore a commitment to strengthening India’s agricultural sector and enhancing farmer welfare, ultimately aiming to position the nation as a global leader in fruit exports.
