In a recent address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the meaningful changes brought about by various government initiatives aimed at improving the lives of farmers over the past eleven years. He noted that farmers once found themselves compelled to take loans even for their basic needs, but the policies implemented by the BJP government have made a remarkable difference, easing their financial burdens and enhancing their livelihoods.
Modi pointed to key programs like the PM Kisan Samman nidhi and the Kisan Crop Insurance Scheme as pivotal steps toward farmer welfare.These initiatives not only provide financial support but also ensure that farmers receive fair prices for their produce, thanks to the consistent increase in minimum support prices. This, he argued, has led to a rise in farmers’ incomes, allowing them to thrive rather than merely survive. The Prime Minister expressed pride in serving the hardworking farmers of the nation, underscoring the government’s commitment to their welfare and the agricultural sector’s overall change.
