June 07, 2025

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has underlined the far-reaching impact of the government’s pro-farmer initiatives over the past 11 years, marking a significant phase of dignity and prosperity for the agricultural community.

He highlighted key initiatives such as the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi and Kisan Fasal Bima, describing them as important steps taken by the government for the welfare of farmers.

"हमारे किसान भाई-बहनों को पहले जहां छोटी-छोटी जरूरतों के लिए भी उधार लेने को मजबूर होना पड़ता था, वहीं बीते 11 साल में हमारी सरकार के निर्णयों से उनका जीवन बहुत आसान हुआ है। पीएम किसान सम्मान निधि हो या फिर किसान फसल बीमा, हमने उनके कल्याण के लिए कई अहम कदम उठाए हैं। अब एमएसपी में निरंतर बढ़ोतरी से देश के अन्नदाताओं को ना सिर्फ फसलों की उचित कीमत मिल रही है, बल्कि उनकी आय भी बढ़ रही है।
