At a landmark event held at Pusa, Delhi, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi unveiled a series of transformative initiatives for India\u2019s agriculture and allied sectors. Union Minister of Agriculture & Farmers\u2019 Welfare, and Rural Development, Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan, and Minister of State Shri Bhagirath Choudhary were also present on the occasion with the Prime Minister. Prime Minister Modi interacted directly with groups of farmers engaged in pulses cultivation, the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (AIF), animal husbandry, and fisheries, discussing their challenges and innovations.

The launch of the \u2018Pradhan Mantri Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana\u2019 and the \u2018Self-Reliance in Pulses Mission\u2019 marks a major milestone in India\u2019s agricultural journey. The \u2018PM Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana\u2019 is a coordinated initiative involving 36 sub-schemes across 11 ministries, designed to accelerate agricultural progress in aspirational districts. The \u2018Self-Reliance in Pulses Mission\u2019 aims to make India self-sufficient in pulses production, reducing dependence on imports in light of rising domestic demand.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Prime Minister also inaugurated and laid the foundation for 1,100 projects under the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (AIF), animal husbandry, fisheries, and food processing sectors. Together, these initiatives represent a historic investment exceeding \u20b942,000 crore, paving the way for the creation of modern cold storage facilities, processing units, and warehouses across rural India.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Recognition of farmers and FPOs<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Prime Minister felicitated farmers, Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), cooperatives, and individuals demonstrating exceptional innovation and contribution to agricultural development. Their achievements were recognised as exemplary models of India\u2019s growing rural enterprise ecosystem.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Fertiliser subsidies and GST relief<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Expressing gratitude to the Prime Minister, Union Agriculture Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that under PM Modi\u2019s leadership, the government ensured that the surge in global fertiliser prices did not affect Indian farmers. \u201cA bag of urea continues to be available at just \u20b9266, and DAP (Di-Ammonium Phosphate) at \u20b91,350, due to massive government subsidies,\u201d he said. The Union Minister also noted that the reduction in GST on agricultural machinery has made modern equipment more affordable for farmers nationwide.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Historic increase in MSP<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Shri Chouhan highlighted that the Central government has significantly increased the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for major crops: by \u20b9160 per quintal for wheat, \u20b9200+ for gram, \u20b9300 for lentil, \u20b9250 for mustard, and \u20b9600 for sunflower.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Financial empowerment of farmers<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Union Agriculture Minister stated that under the \u2018PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi\u2019, \u20b93.90 lakh crore have been directly transferred into farmers\u2019 bank accounts. Through the Kisan Credit Card (KCC) scheme, loans worth over \u20b910 lakh crore were disbursed in FY 2024\u201325, alongside \u20b91.62 lakh crore in interest subsidies. The \u2018Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana\u2019 provided compensation exceeding \u20b91.83 lakh crore to insured farmers.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

FPO growth and innovation<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Highlighting the success of Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), Shri Chouhan said that over 52 lakh farmers are now shareholders in FPOs, with 1,100 FPOs achieving \u2018crorepati\u2019 status and collectively recording a turnover exceeding \u20b915,000 crore. The Agriculture Ministry continues to extend innovation, branding, and market linkage support to these organisations.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Commitment to self-reliance and \u2018Viksit Bharat\u2019<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Union Minister reiterated that the government is working to position Indian agriculture on global standards while driving the nation towards \u2018Atmanirbharta\u2019 (self-reliance) and \u2018Viksit Bharat\u2019 (Developed India). He appealed to citizens to embrace Swadeshi and contribute to the nation\u2019s growth.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Praising the Prime Minister\u2019s visionary leadership, Shri Chouhan said, \u201cUnder Prime Minister Modi\u2019s guidance, we are committed to fulfilling the dream of a developed, self-reliant India, built on the foundation of farmers\u2019 prosperity, indigenous enterprise, and innovation.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
