In a resolute address amid pressing agricultural discussions, Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan vowed zero tolerance for any compromise on farmers’ welfare. Addressing the media in New Delhi, he celebrated the sector’s turnaround, crediting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visionary approach.
India now leads global rice production, with wheat yields climbing steadily and overall food grains up by a robust 33 percent. ‘We’re meticulously ironing out inconsistencies with a detailed action plan,’ Chouhan explained, committing to relentless progress.
The minister shared ambitious goals: making India the global food hub through superior fruit and vegetable yields. Streamlining procedures remains a priority to eliminate farmer hardships. ‘Our farmers, the nation’s pivot, deserve unwavering protection,’ he emphasized.
