PM Modi’s Continued Commitment to Farmer Welfare
The PMO emphasized that the programme demonstrates PM Modi’s ongoing commitment to empowering farmers, ensuring agricultural self-reliance, and building resilient rural infrastructure.
During the event, the Prime Minister will interact with farmers who have benefited from government schemes promoting value-chain development in agriculture, animal husbandry, and fisheries. The interaction aims to highlight success stories of farmers adopting modern practices and contributing to India’s growing agricultural exports.
Experts note that these announcements align with India’s broader vision of doubling farmers’ income and ensuring food security through innovation, investment, and inclusivity.
A Step Toward “Viksit Bharat 2047”
The large-scale investment is expected to significantly enhance rural livelihoods, boost production, and generate employment across multiple allied sectors. By strengthening value chains from farm to market, these initiatives will also support India’s long-term goal of becoming a global agri-export hub under the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.
