शेर-ए-कश्मीर यूनिवर्सिटी को लगभग 20 साल हो गए हैं। तब से लेकर अब तक अनेक छात्र-छात्राएं यहां से पढ़कर निकल चुके हैं और वो सामाजिक जीवन में कहीं न कहीं अपना योगदान दे रहे हैं: PM @narendramodi
आज यूनिवर्सिटी का छठा Convocation समारोह है। इस मौके पर मुझे आप सभी के बीच आने का अवसर मिला। आमंत्रण के लिए यूनिवर्सिटी प्रशासन का मैं बहुत-बहुत आभार व्यक्त करता हूं: PM @narendramodi
समय के साथ टेक्नोलॉजी तेजी से बदल रही है और बदलती हुई ये टेक्नोलॉजी तमाम व्यवस्थाओं को बदल रही है। इस रफ्तार के साथ अगर सबसे तेज चल सकता है, तो वो हमारे देश का युवा है: PM @narendramodi
टेक्नोलॉजी, जैसे Nature of Job बदल रही है, रोजगार के नए-नए तरीके विकसित कर ही है, वैसे ही आवश्यकता Agriculture में भी नया Culture विकसित करने की है। अपने परंपरागत तरीकों को जितना ज्यादा हम तकनीक पर केंद्रित करेंगे, उतना ही किसान को लाभ होगा: PM @narendramodi
अभी दो दिन पूर्व ही कैबिनेट ने माइक्रो इरिगेशन के लिए 5 हजार करोड़ रुपए के फंड को स्वीकृति दी है। ये सारी नीतियां, ये सारे निर्णय, किसान की आय दोगुनी करने के हमारे लक्ष्य को और मजबूत करते हैं: PM @narendramodi
यहां से पढ़कर जाने के बाद Scientific Approach, Technological Innovations और Research and Development के माध्यम से कृषि को लाभकारी व्यवसाय बनाने में आप सक्रिय भूमिका निभाएंगे: PM @narendramodi
एग्रीकल्चर में भविष्य के नए सेक्टर्स की उन्नति, किसानों की उन्नति में सहायक होगी। Green और White Revolution के साथ ही जितना ज्यादा हम Organic Revolution, Water Revolution, Blue Revolution, Sweet Revolution पर बल देंगे, उतना ही किसानों की आय बढ़ेगी: PM @narendramodi
ऐसा भी नहीं है कि सिर्फ By-Product से ही Wealth बन सकती है। जो मुख्य फसल है, Main Product है, कई बार उसका भी अलग इस्तेमाल किसानों की आमदनी बढ़ा सकता है। Coir Waste हो, Coconut Shells हों, Bamboo Waste हो, फसल कटने के बाद खेत में बचा residue हो, इन सभी से आमदनी बढ़ सकती है: PM
हमारे किसानों, कृषि वैज्ञानिकों की मेहनत और सरकार की नीतियों का ये असर है कि पिछले वर्ष रिकॉर्ड उत्पादन हुआ। गेहूं हो, चावल हो या फिर दाल, पुराने रिकॉर्ड टूट गए। तिलहन और कपास के उत्पादन में भी भारी वृद्धि दर्ज की गई: PM @narendramodi
Agriculture में Artificial Intelligence आने वाले समय में खेती के क्षेत्र में क्रांतिकारी परिवर्तन लाने वाली है। देश के कुछ हिस्सों में सीमित स्तर पर किसान इसका इस्तेमाल कर भी रहे हैं: PM @narendramodi
जम्मू कश्मीर के किसानों और बागवानों के लिए बीते चार वर्षों में केंद्र सरकार ने भी कई योजनाएं स्वीकृत की हैं। बागवानी और कृषि से जुड़ी अन्य योजनाओं के लिए 500 करोड़ रुपए स्वीकृत किए गए हैं, जिसमें से डेढ़ सौ करोड़ रुपए रिलीज भी किए जा चुके हैं: PM @narendramodi
2022 में देश अपनी स्वतंत्रता के 75 वर्ष का पर्व मना रहा होगा। मेरा विश्वास है कि तब तक आप में से अनेक छात्र खुद को एक बेहतरीन वैज्ञानिक के तौर पर स्थापित कर चुके होंगे: PM @narendramodi
